After the death of her beloved father, Liesl is forced by her wretched stepmother to live in an attic room. There, she makes friends with a smart-aleck ghost named Po who is in touch with Liesl's father. At the same time, Will, forced to work for a heartless alchemist, who's hand in a terrible magical mix-up puts him in dire trouble, finds himself in their company.

description: Since its original publication in 1911, this wonderful classic has entranced generations of children with an evergreen mix of orphans, adversity, and a brilliantly honest characterization of children. Nine-year-old Mary Lennox's transformation from a petulant, spoiled child to care-free lass on the moors of England opens as the girl finds herself suddenly orphaned in India. Sent to live with her self-absorbed uncle on his huge estate in Yorkshire, Mary is charmed against her will by the cheerful Dickon, a boy who can charm wild animals. She also discovers Colin, the hidden invalid son of her uncle, who is just as spoiled as she. After Mary finds an intriguing walled garden that had not been taken care of for 10 years, the children immerse themselves in secretly tending it, and through the joy of nurturing living things, grow in health and good spirits themselves.
