A Little Princess

Reader reviewed by GRgenius

The focus in the story is on the life of young Sara Crewe.  She is a daughter of wealth thanks to her father's generosity and having such freedoms as money will allow, often times can be found presenting herself with an air of nobility (hence the title).  Growing up without a mother as she had tragically passed away when she was born, her father is everything to her as she is to also to him. 

Upon her 11th birthday, misfortune reaches its hand back into her life, snatching away that remaining connection to which she so fondly held.  Not only is her father now gone, but she is told that the money is nonexistant, thus leaving her in the unfriendly hands of Miss Minchin at her boarding school.  All is not lost to this fair child, even though others would strive to squelch her spirit.  Throughout the worst of times, she keeps her head held high (as any true princess should) and in the end, discovers truths that were kept hidden from her.

Enjoyable for readers of all ages.  Happy reading!

I absolutely adored this book and the movie was pure enjoyment. The richness of the characters and the underlying moral of the story was pure and true. It was a captivating story throughout that reels in its readers and makes them want more. Every child should have this book in their memory and remember what life is all about.

A Little Princess is a classic book about a girl who has grown up in a rich life and suddenly has it all taken away from her when her father dies. The story talks about what she does and how she really is a cool person, not some snob with a lot of money.
This book is awesome. Everything flows really well and it is so natural. Though one part (about a chapter) dragged, the ending made up for it. This book is more girl interest than boy interest, and I loved it.
