Summary

"A Little Princess: Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe Now Told for the First Time" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a tale set in the late 1800s about a young girl named Sara Crewe who goes to a boarding school far from home and her rich dad. She has to get used to a life that’s both new and tricky as she learns to navigate an unfamiliar world without her father. The book explores being strong even when things are hard, being nice to others, and how important it is to use your imagination. When Sara first gets to Miss Minchin's school, she feels unsure because she is leaving her life in India behind. Even though she used to have a lot, she now faces a lot of changes. Sara uses her imagination and is very grown-up for her age as she thinks about what’s happening to her. As Sara and her father get ready to say goodbye, you can sense that she's going to feel lonely despite all her fancy things. The story hints that Sara will go through a big change at Miss Minchin’s school, where she will also build friendships.
