A Book Review

I read a book called A Little Princess by Frances Hodges. It is about a girl named Sara who has a very rich dad named Captain Crew. Sara had to go to a school called Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Ladies. The reason why she had to go there is because Captain Crew had to do a very big job. When they arrived, Sara was to have everything she wanted. When Captain Crew left Sara had everything, she wanted. On Sara’s birthday Captain Crew died of a brain fever. Miss Minchin took all of Sara’s presents from her, took all her good clothes, and turned her into a servant. Sara would have to do everything that Miss Minchin told her to do. Miss Minchin would not feed Sara at all. One day Miss Minchin walked in and Sara had food and nice clothes. From a person next door, who saw Sara was being treated badly. Therefore, he gave her meals, clothes, and shoes. When Miss Minchin saw this, she said she was going to call the police and she did call the police. When the police came, Sara was crossing from her houses to her neighbor’s house by climbing on a piece of wood. When she made it to her neighbor’s house, she saw the man who saved her. She and the man lived happily ever after.

I saw the movie version of this and it was good. It was different form the book, because in the book the dad had died, but he did not die in the movie. I liked the movie better.
