I managed to write an almost-full review of this book. It is here!: https://emmareadstoomuch.wordpress.com/2017/07/11/a-little-princess-the-little-prince-reviews-apparently-i-love-small-monarchs/
---------------------------
I can't believe I'm saying this, but...the movie really was a better story.
Maybe I'll go watch that for the millionth time.
This book pales in comparison to The Secret Garden, but it was still good. Hard to make an über-wealthy seven-year-old seem great, but this book does it. (Burnett KILLS it with the unlikable characters!) I liked the first half better than the second, probably because, again, the movie version of the story is just a lot more entertaining.
There are also a lot more villains in the book. It's more like Sara in a sea of people who are average-to-bad, which is kind of a weird message for a children's book.
Anyway. I'm glad I finally read this, though. It was good, and if I'd read the book first I wouldn't be judging it so harshly.
Bottom line: Yeah, give it a try. Look at that goddamn cover!

That was the best! A friend gave it to me from my birthday and I loved it soo much! The story is amazing and Sara’s loves and perseverance is amazing and pure!
One of my favourite books ever. I believe everyone should read this at least once in their life!
Book #3 for #booktubeathon is DONE!
I finished this audiobook on the way to work this morning and MAN do I love this story. I've loved the movie for a long time and I loved this book just as much, although the endings and elements of the story were different. Sarah is such a fantastically beautiful character with such a big heart for others. I loved reading about her adventures and how she continued to have the attitude of a princess, regardless of her circumstances.
JUST A GREAT CHILDREN'S BOOK, ERRYONE READ IT.

Me llena mucho el corazón. De niña era una de mis películas favoritas y ahora será uno de mis libros favoritos ❤️
I started reading this book for a readathon and totally forgot that I have watched this movie. I love the book and it totally warm my heart.
Read as a child! I believe I read it in 2011/2012 and really enjoyed it.
Most nights before bed, I would read a few pages of A Little Princess to my 5 year old. Much of the old style dialogue was confusing to her and, if I'm being honest, many of the sentences were annoying to me. Also, this is one of the exceptions to the "the book is always better than the movie" rule.
