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.
