I loved the protaganist and all the beautiful scenes she imagined. The plot was interesting and had more twists than I imagined a book called, "A Little Princess," would. It has a good message. One of its lessons is to treat others the way you want to be treated. Others and I learned that in kindergarten, but maybe a lot of people including some of the characters forgot it.

I think the only thing I disliked was that there some parts that seemed unnecessary to the plot, and it made the book slower to read. It is also written by someone in the 1800s, so there was some ignorant wording here and there, but a surprisingly small amount of it. I also was annoyed by the way the book had no footnotes or explanations for non-English words or sentences, and there weren't enough context clues to clear up the meaning

Smart and absolutely charming. Burnett is a master of the children's novel that doesn't condescend.
