A Little Princess

A Little Princess

FROM SARAH:

I just love the novels of Francis Hodgson Burnett. I sort of wish this one had a different title, so more boys would pick it up. Definitely worth reading aloud, or getting as an audiobook to read together! I like the audiobook narrated by Virginia Leishman. (Audible I Libro.FM)

Alone in a new country, wealthy Sara Crewe tries to settle in and make friends at boarding school. But when she learns that she'll never see her beloved father gain, her life is turned upside down.

One of my favorite middle-grade authors, and one of my favorite middle-grade books. Watch how Shakespeare transforms one student's life in this can't-put-it-down novel. Highly recommended.

For years Dickens kept the story of his own childhood a secret. Yet it is a story worth telling. For it helps us remember how much we all might lose when a child's dreams don't come true...
