The Secret Garden- Continued

My last post was about The Secret Garden and as I am still reading this book, I will be talking about this classic again. The start of the book really caught my attention and now that I am further into the book it is getting even better. I like how there is always something new and excitng around the corner.

The last post ended by saying hat Mary knew about the secret garden and wanted to try get inside. A lot has happened since then. A few times after that Mary heard someone crying in Missethwaite Manor (where she stays) but when she told Martha (one of the manor's maid servants who waits on Mary) and someone else they both said it couldn't be true. The crying matter is still a bit of a mystery at the moment. Mary at first didn't like Martha but because she is such a nice and funny character she couldn't help liking her.
Mary often walks around on the moor every day and one day, she finds the key that opens the door of the garden that has been locked up for ten years! She finds this key with the help of a robin who Mary becomes very good friends with. The robin belongs to a the gardener on the moor, Ben Weatherstaff. After she finds the key, the robin shows her the door to the secret garden which was hidden under thick ivy so she is able to go inside and have a lovely time looking at flower beds and doing some weeding.

The magical book is getting really exciting at the moment and I can't wait to find out more about what happens.

The door to the secret garden

The Secret Garden

The book that I have been reading is The Secret Garden which is a fictional book. I think it is a good story so far and grabs the reader's attention.
Mary Lennox is the main character. She has a bad temper and everyone thinks she is very ugly. She doesn't like anyone and nobody likes her in return. At the start of the story, she is living in India with her parents. Her father is an army captain and her mum is a beautiful lady. Mary hardly ever sees them though and is under the care of many native servants, as her parents find her too hideous and tiresome to look after. I don't think is is good thing and this could be why she is such a stubborn child. Her parents have never said that they liked her. An outbreak of cholera then devastates the Lennox's, leaving no one alive but herself. Mary is then sent to live in Yorkshire with her uncle, Archibald Craven. She then finds out about a secret garden that has been locked up for 10 years and she is determined to find out why it was locked and how to get in.

I think the story started off well as you don't know what's going to happen when the cholera breaks out but it is a bit hard, in the first chapter, to understand what is happening. 
I recommend others to read the story as I think it is going to be a good read from what I've read so far.
