How amazing this book is!
The secret garden it's a children classic that I am happy i've read as an adult.
The book starts with Mary, a very spoiled girl who's parents didn't even get involved in her life but gave her the mony and people to care for her, who found herself alone in the world after her family passed away from cholera. As spoled as she is, she is a very mean and rebel girl until she arrived at her forgotten uncles Manor.
After a while she starts having conversations with people from the manor, and undestands a bit of the world. She meets a robin, Dickon and finds the secret garden. Slowly becomin more alive, happy and nice girl.
I think this book is more psychological than I thought to be... it shows how our minds and thoughts can change the way we feel and act: having negative thoughts, excluding ourselves from the life can get to severe sickness while positive mind, few good people around you, passion and hobbies can make you feel better.
