Ostracized by the envious and less-privileged girls at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, seven-year-old Sara Crewe is devastated when her adored, indulgent father dies, leaving her penniless and alone in the world. The story of how Sara's fortunes change again, and how she discovers the true meaning of family, is a tale that has delighted children since its initial publication in 1905. Illustrated with a wealth of color and black-and-white drawings by British muralist Graham Rust, here is an enduring children's classic sure to enthrall youngsters aged 8-14.
listen, the 90s movie is my gold standard, so this was just okay for me. read it to Salem and Junie. Salem wept at points 😂 it was fun to share the story with them ❤️
Well, I really liked how Sara was so nice. Even when she was treated really badly, she still acted like a princess! I think my favorite part was when Ram Dass made Sara's room a wonderland!
Cute book. I liked the illustrations. Actually very close to the original text. Definitely more authentic than the Classic Starts edition. Liked how they explained how Melchy got his name.
I've been meaning to read this book for five years. It was not worth it. It was good, but it's very similar to Oliver Twist and Dickens tells the story better.
