|summary=Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic tale of Sara Crewe's riches to rags adventure (and back again) gets a welcome re-release to coincide with the sequel: [[Wishing For Tomorrow by Hilary McKay]]. Hilary McKay was kind enough to be [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Hilary McKay|interviewed by Bookbag]].
[[Little House In The Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder]] is another classic that all young girls (and boys) should read, and if that's not enough, take a look at our [[Top Ten Classics of Children's Literature]]. For more school-based adventures, but in a very different setting to ''A Little Princess'', [[Clementine by Sara Pennypacker]] is an excellent read. Slightly older readers wanting to see how a modern family handles bankruptcy will find plenty to enjoy in [[Never Ever by Helena Pielichaty]].
