The Secret Garden

De: Mariah Marsden

Narrado por: Vivian Maya, Maria Harper

Green-growing secrets and powerful magic await you at Misselthwaite Manor. From Mariah Marsden, author of the critically acclaimed Anne of Green Gables, comes the second installment in this series of retold children's classics.

Ten-year-old Mary Lennox arrives at a secluded estate on the Yorkshire moors with a scowl and a chip on her shoulder. First, there’s Martha Sowerby, the too-cheery maid with bothersome questions who seems out of place in the dreary manor. Then, there’s the elusive Uncle Craven, Mary’s only remaining family—whom she’s not permitted to see. And finally, there are the mysteries that seem to haunt the run-down place–rumors of a lost garden with a tragic past, and a midnight wail that echoes across the moors at night.

As Mary begins to explore this new world alongside her ragtag companions—a cocky robin redbreast, a sour-faced gardener, and a boy who can talk to animals—she learns that even the loneliest of hearts can grow roots in rocky soil.
