Notes: Maria Merryweather is a fourteen year girl who discovers an amazing secret while attending her Fathers funeral. She inherits a book that reveals a strange tale of a family curse that affects Moonacre Valley. As the story evolves Maria learns that she is able to break the curse and free both her family and the de Noirs family.

Maria makes friends as she learns what she mst do to save the valley and those she has come to love. The story is a wonderful and fanciful tale of love, friendship and belonging. Told in a similar fassion as many quaint old faery tales. It takes the viewer on a journey through several interwoven plots.

Well worth watching with the younger members of the family.
