There is something strange about Misselthwaite Manor. Mary Lennox is nine years old and she doesn't believe the grown-ups who tell her there's nothing wrong. She has heard a child crying in the middle of the night. She also knows that somewhere there's a secret garden. Nobody has been inside it for ten years. The garden has high walls all around it and its door is hidden. But Mary has found a rusty key and she knows that it will open the door to the secret garden. If only she can find it and uncover the garden's mystery! And what about the mystery of the crying child? The Secret Garden. Doesn't that sound like a great story? Well, take it from me, it is. And knowing where to find the book is no big secret - it's at the Hippocampus library! The only big mystery to me is why you haven't picked it up yet! The Hippocampus library has about 7000 books for you to choose from. You can read under a tree (that's what I like to do), you can sink into a bean bag, lie on your tummy on a rug or you can take a book home. A lot of books are turned into movies. Like the Harry Potter series. Movies are great fun to watch - I love them - but do you know something? A movie is hardly ever as exciting as a book - because there are some things that you can only imagine! At the Hippocampus library you'll find story books (like The Secret Garden), comics like Tintin and Asterix and the X-Men. You'll be able to leaf through fabulous encyclopedias, or look at books about things that happened a long time ago (when the world had dinosaurs, for example). You can spend your time laughing till your sides hurt at our collection of funny books or the crazy rhymes and verses by people like Edward Lear. Every book is an adventure. And at a library every time an adventure comes to an end, you'll have a new one to look forward to.
