When she is sent to Yorkshire to live with her uncle, whom she has never met, Mary is determined to hate her new home. But there is more to Misselthwaite Manor than she could have ever imagined… and it is going to change her life in unexpected ways. 

One day, while exploring the estate, Mary discovers the key to a neglected and overgrown garden that has been locked away for years. She throws herself into the task of restoring that garden, unlocking a new sense of purpose in herself. 

As her work in the garden progresses, Mary uncovers deeper mysteries within Misselthwaite Manor. Startled by strange cries in the night, she encounters her cousin Colin—a disabled boy who had chosen to hide away from the world. The two children form a powerful bond—and Mary finally realises that she is not as alone as she thought.
