Secret Garden, The (Abridged)

The discovery of a neglected garden transforms the life of a sullen and unloved little girl-and everyone around her, too. When the newly orphaned Mary Lennox leaves her native India and arrives at her uncle’s mansion in Yorkshire, everything seems strange to her. Then Mary hears of a mysterious garden where no one has set foot in 10 years. With the help of some new friends, she plans to uncover its secrets…and make it blossom once again.

Ten-year-old Mary comes to live in a lonely house on the Yorkshire moors where she discovers an invalid cousin and the mysteries of a locked garden.

These are lovely hardcover books that would be great for eager students who are not ready for the larger classic versions or for older students who need some age appropriate reading material with simpler vocabulary.
