Started strong, fizzled by the last act. Still glad I read it.
A Little Princess
Children's
4.33(2 ratings)
This is a story about a different kind of princess than one might imagine; a princess that is an orphan - lonely, cold, hungry and abused. Sara Crewe begins life as the beloved, pampered daughter of a rich man. When he dies a pauper, she is thrown on the non-existent mercy of her small-minded, mercenary boarding school mistress. Stripped of all her belongings but for one set of clothes and a doll, Sara becomes a servant of the household. Hated by the schoolmistress for her independent spirit, Sara becomes a pariah in the household, with only a few secretly loyal friends. But through her inner integrity and strength of will, Sara Crewe maintains the deportment, inner nobility and generous spirit of a "real" princess.

This is going straight onto my favorites shelf. Frances Hodgson Burnett clearly knows what they're doing.
Morgan Reyes
Good, not life-changing, but I'd pick up more from Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Emerson Thorne
Middling read for me. Frances Hodgson Burnett has talent, but this one didn't fully click.

Went in with low expectations and came out completely won over. Frances Hodgson Burnett nailed it.
