Hilary McKay - Author
This is a school-set continuation centred on changing friendships, missing someone who has left, and the possibility of finding a satisfying life of one’s own. It also promises lively disruption through mischievous children and a practical new maid.
This book is the long-awaited sequel to A Little Princess. Nothing is quite the same at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies since Sara Crewe went away with the Indian gentleman. Lavinia is once again the girls' leader, but she hungers for a more interesting life. Lottie is still busy making mischief, as is the new neighbor, the red-headed boy. Alice, the new maid, brings a breath of fresh air and slapdash practicality to the school. But Sara is much missed -- especially by her best friend, Ermengarde. Can Ermengarde find her own way and be happy? Will she and Sara ever be able to be friends the way they were before? Hilary McKay opens the door to Miss Minchin's again and invites readers to take a peek at the new adventures beginning in a beloved tale. - Jacket flap.
