The Secret Garden
A living book unit study
The Secret Garden is a wonderful classic story loved by many. Several movies have been made from the book by Francis Hodgson Burnett, but none are quite like the book itself. If you love the book or the movie, you're sure to love this unit study full of exciting activities for the whole family.
