Cute Emotional read! I enjoyed this story. I love the characters! Mary, Colin, and Dickon were so much fun to read about.  When Mary loses her parents in India she is sent to live with her uncle in England. When she arrives she is spoiled and rude. She finds a secret garden and meets Dickon the animal whisper. He teaches her about plants and help her with the garden. One night she is woken up by screaming and meets her cousin Colin who is a feeble child. They become fast friends.  As their friendship grows, Colin reveals his biggest fears. Mary helps him and tells him about the secret garden. Soon Dickon, Mary, and Colin along with a couple of adults create their own world in the secret garden.
