Book description
The sequel to the timeless, much-loved classic, A Little Princess by
Frances Hodgson Burnett. Hilary McKay revisits Miss Minchin's Select
Seminary for Young Ladies after the events of A Little Princess and Sara
Crewe's happily ever after. But Sara is much missed - and most acutely
by best friend Ermengarde, who laments that 'nothing is the same as it
was before'. But life must go on at Miss Minchin's as new friendships
are made, rivalries continued, lessons learned and, most
importantly, fairytale endings do happen. Hilary McKay won the
Guardian Children`s award with her first novel, The Exiles. Her
subsequent work has achieved recognition - The Exiles at Home won the
Smarties Prize, whilst Saffy`s Angel, the first in the Casson Family
series, won the Whitbread Award, for which the third book Permanent Rose
was also shortlisted.
