This book is about a girl named Sara Crewe. Her father is a captain, and he is very rich. Sara Crewe is sent to a school so she will be educated, while her father goes on a journey. At first, no one likes her, because she is so rich, but she makes a friend named Ermengarde. There is also a young girl named Lottie, who has no mother like Sara, herself. Sara becomes close with her as well and acts like a mother to her. Sara tells many stories to little children, and they all become to like her. However, Miss Minchin and her sister are not very welcoming. All they care is for Sara's money and inheritance. But on Sara's 11th birthday, a tragic thing happens. Sara finds out that her father died from a fever and his friend lost all of their money. Sara becomes poor and is immediately put into rags. She starts to dwell in the attic, and she runs errands on the worst days. The cooks don't feed her well, and she is tired, however, Sara still has her warm, caring heart. She makes friends with a mouse up in the attic and she provides him and his family with crumbs. Sara now knows how it feels to be hungry and cold, but what she doesn't know is that her father's friend is looking for her. He never actually lost their fortune. It was that he just thought he did. So, he looked and looked for the girl, not knowing how she looked like or even her name. But he found her right next door, at the school, in the attic. He of course, handed her the fortune, and decided to take care of her. When Miss Minchin found out that there actually were diamond mines and that it belonged to Sara Crewe, she was in shock. Miss Minchin acted as she never treated Sara badly, and suggested her to stay at her school. But of course, Sara knew better, and she refused. Sara decided to help the hungry, and the needy, because she knew how it felt to be in that situation.
I liked this book because it had much description in the chapters that I could actually imagine and feel what the author was thinking and writing about. I could feel as if I was in the character's shoes and it was an experience reading this book. The first sentence of this book got me interested in reading this book. "Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows glazed as they do at night, an odd-looking girl sat in a cab with her father and was rather driven slowly through the big thoroughfares." I was able to imagine this scene, and it made the story livelier. Towards the end of the story, Sara Crewe says,
"You know much more why I wouldn't stay at your school." I was shocked when she said this, but I was pleased at the same time. I realized that Miss Minchin got what she deserved. She treated Sara badly, so in return, Miss Minchin didn't get Sara's money. I learned that you should truly act to others as you would want to be treated.
My favorite part of the book was when Sara woke up in the middle of the night and found great things. A warm bed, cozy fire, delicious food, and everything she could think of. I liked this part because Sara believed that it was magical. This is what she really needed, and that night, her wish got granted. Also, I like it when people keep their hopes up high. I realized that those who keep wishing and those who believe that things can come true somehow end up getting what they've needed or wanted. As for the people who just laugh and say, "That'll never come true," never receive anything. Sara kept her hopes high even though she was in a rough situation. She believed that things could really happen and it did.
