'The Forgotten Room' begins a few months after the original concludes, continuing the stories of Mary, Colin, Dickon and the rest of the beloved characters from 'The Secret Garden.' This is the story of what happens next to the people of Misselthwaite Manor. Mary finds another secret, learns more about herself her friends, gets a tutor, nearly succumbs to her parents' fate, and faces a crucial decision or two. Written with the style and heart of the original.

Reviewer say:

'The Forgotten Room is a very well-written follow-up to The Secret Garden. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I felt that it was a very good imitation of the feel of the original. The children all have the same quirks and are continuing to work through their separate issues. The happy ending was beautiful and fun, and actually left me wanting to know what happens as Mary, Collin, and Dickon grow older. I would suggest this book to anyone who loves The Secret Garden.'

I would recommend this book to my women friends, my daughter and my sisters.

I think they would enjoy it as much as I did. I like the growing relationship between Colin and Mary.

I love hearing about Dickon and his family and the adventures on the moors with the flora and fauna.

I like the mystery side of the story and don't want to say more as it will take away the enjoyment of the book.
