A Little Princess cover

Step into Sara's shoes as fate determines her fortune . . .

Alone in a new country, wealthy Sara Crewe tries to make friends at boarding school and settle in. But when she learns that she'll never see her beloved father again, her life is turned upside down. Transformed from princess to pauper, she must swap dancing lessons and luxury for drudgery and a room in the attic.

A tale of the significance of friendship, the power of imagination and the importance of perseverance.

When wealthy Sara Crewe arrives at Miss Minchin's boarding school in London, she is determined to settle in and make friends.

Charismatic and popular, with a big heart and a love of storytelling, she seems to be succeeding.

That is, until tragedy strikes.

Sara must fight harder than she thought possible to remain both strong and kind in the most difficult of circumstances.

A charming classic children's story that's perfect for all ages.
