A Little Princess: The Story of Sara Crewe (Puffin Classics)

Rating:
Summary: A cherished childhood book
Review: A Little Princess is a wonderful book. It captured my imagination as a little girl of 8 when my grandmother read it to me for the first time. The book is about a young girl, Sarah, who is unwillingly left at a London boarding school by her adoring widowed father because the physical and political climate of 1930's India is not acceptable for his precious only daughter. The book follows Sarah through her high and low points at Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies. Young girls will find themselves whisked away to another time and another place when they pick up this book. The main character, Sarah Crew, will have a place in the heart of everyone who reads it. I recommend this book to girls of all ages. I just began reading the book again after many years because I wanted to revisit those wonderful memories from childhood.

Summary: This is my favorite book
Review: Unlike most girls my age, I adore reading. Even if you don't, you would love this book. Sara Crew is brought to a boarding school by her rich father. Then when she's about eleven, she realizes that her now deceased father has lost his money by a fortune and she is left all alone in the world, a poor girl. It is a sad, sad book, yet it's happy too. I read it as often as I can because of how beautifully it is written. I know that you will love it too. To find out what happens to Sara, you will have to read this amazingly powerful book.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I received "A Little Princess" when I was a kid, and didn't get into it right away. Then a few years later my uncle and his family gave me the Shirley Temple movie "The Little Princess". I'd watch it over and over and discovered I liked it, but then I thought the book wasn't as good as the movie. But then I did read the book and found that it IS good! Wonderful! A classic!

Summary: A good remake of a good book!
Review: I've seen the movie "The Little Princess". I've also read the book. I liked them both a lot. I liked the book because it was set in London and the little girl was British. The movie was good because it ended happily and seemed more realistic. The movie ending was so good, it made me want to cry, with happy tears. It was such a good movie. I adored it. I also liked the fact that Ms. Minchin had a bad ending to her awful character. Sara Crewe (the star) is a good role model.

Summary: Charming and Touching
Review: This movie was wonderful! Not only was the acting done beautifully, but the cinematography was top-notch. The different angles during the scenes gives a true, attached sense of feeling to the viewer and portrays the emotions of the actor close to heart. The movie was beautiful in content and also scenery. Although different from the book, the movie definately touches fans of F.H.B. Personally, I cry every time I watch this movie, and I'm in my 20's!

Summary: One of the greats!!
Review: This movie was absoulutely wonderful,and I wish it would have gotten more recognition.All the characters were just great,except for Miss Minchen.I wanted someone to beat her sensless!The acting was wonderful and I liked the way they made the story kind of like a metaphor of the Indian legend Sara was telling.Let us not forget what a tear jerker this was!The part where Sara thought her father died and and the end where they found eachothr and hugging in the rain,I thought I was going to start bawling like an idiot.I highly recomend it and I'm sure that people will love it and treasure it from years to come.
