A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Sarah Crewe is a brilliant and charming student of Mrs. Minchin's chosen seminary for young ladies. When her adored father dies on the eve of her eighth birthday, Sarah is devastated. Costless, Sarah is thrown into the attic and forced to work as a maid at a school where she was once her favorite student. With the help of Sarah, her classmates, and her new friend Becky, she shows everyone that resourcefulness and a kind heart can help determine your condition. For generations, children cherished the story of Sarah Crewe, a little girl who imagined that Mrs. Minchins was a princess who would have a hard time at her boarding school in London.
