Taylor's Book review - Secret Garden

Secret Garden Book Review

The Secret Garden - The Story of the Movie

By Linda Chapman

The secret Garden is about a girl who becomes an orphan and goes to live with her uncle

in England where she discovers a secret garden that has a major impact on her life.

I enjoyed this book because I felt like there were lots of plot twists that kept me

interested until the end. Some of the themes in the book were nature, friendship,

family, death and history as presented below:

Friendship

This evolves because Mary had never had any friends until she went to her uncle's

house, where she met Dickon and Colin who are central to the story and events.

Nature 

It talks about nature because Mary found the secret garden and developed an

interest in gardening.

Family
Family is presented strongly because Mary lived with her mum and dad

and then she was moved to her uncle's house for safety from the bombing.
History
Some facts about history because the army once used the house as a place t

o keep all of the sick or injured soldiers in.
Death
Discussion about dying as there are several deaths in the story and

different characters grieving during the book.

I  would recommend this book and give it a 8/10
