Summary: 5 Stars
When I read this book, it made me think about things that I hadn't for a long time. It made me cry when poor little Sara thought she had lost her fahter in the war. I thought it was so cruel for Miss Minchin to make Sara work. But at the end it was tight because Sara had found her father. This is an emotional story for any young reader to read. It has all kinds of things for you to experience.That is why this story is one of a kind.Book Review: A Little Princess is indeed a true classic!

This very exciting classic, A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, will make you want to cry. It tears at your heart to see Sarah Crew go from riches to rags. Even when Sarah is in the world alone with nothing, she still believes that she is a little princess. If you like heart warming classics, then this novel is for you. I rate this book a perfect five, because it really makes your heart stop when you have to witness what this poor little girl goes through. The author makes me feel like I am in the book. This is an absolutely wonderful novel. So if you would like to read a thrilling classic, then I suggest that you read this book.Book Review: A Little Princess review

Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the book and read it three times! I read it when I was 8 and love it now at 11 years old. Sara Crew is sent to Miss Minchin's Academy for Young Ladies in London leaving her wondeful but widowed father and India. She is treated wondefully then after a time her father dies and she is left without a penny. She is forced to become a maid and befriends another maid named Becky. However the ending is very good! In fact the entire book is a masterpiece beyond a doubt! Every girl should have to read it!Book Review: A READABLE, ENGAGING CLASSIC
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is more dated than THE SECRET GARDEN, but it's still a great story. It's hard NOT to identify with Sara Crewe.
I loved this book as a child (though not as much as I loved THE SECRET GARDEN, which I think is a better book). However, A LITTLE PRINCESS may appeal more to some people; some readers may find the story stronger and the main character, Sara Crewe, more likable. Sara's determination to stay herself despite how other people treat her and view her is inspiring and may help readers through tough times of their own. Some scenes (I don't want to spoil the surprise by describing them) are magical.
A LITTLE PRINCESS is a great story that makes readers think. Some of those thoughts make you uncomfortable, like the thoughts about differences between rich and poor children - but that (I think) is part of the book's greatness.
Be sure to get an unabridged edition: this book is beautifully written and should not be simplified. Kids now CAN read and will love this book: at least, every girl to whom I have given a copy has read it and reread it -- on her own.
For a modern, well-written book about another girl at an English boarding school, read Libby Koponen's BLOW OUT THE MOON. It has the same classic feel, though American heroine is very different from Sara in some ways (though she too is determined to hang onto her identity) and MOON is quite funny.
