The Secret Garden

A girl nobody wanted is sent to a house nobody explains.

Mary Lennox arrives sour and unused to being loved. Yorkshire does not care. In the corridors: a cry that is not the wind. In the grounds: a garden that has been locked since a woman died. A boy who will not leave his room. A boy who talks to animals as if that were ordinary.

The key is the dare. What grows after you turn it is the book.
