I read this for the 52 books in 52 weeks reading challenge. I used the 2021 prompt read a book featuring adoption. It is also on Listopia's 300 books everyone should read once list. It is one of my childhood favorites. Always a fun read.

A thought-provoking book about how to be a kind person and how to treat others around you. It also teaches us how to make the best of your circumstances and that an imagination can help you get through some of the darkest times.

One of my all time favorite classics from my earlier childhood. My grandmother gave me the book and I read it over and over. The characters are very loveable and the story is a great one.

This has long been one of my favorite classics. I first read it in elementary school, and I identified very strongly with the main character. It's wonderful for children and adults alike.

I really enjoyed this book because Sara Crewe is such a little inspiration. I admire her for many reasons whether it be her good manners or her kind heart. I was quite upset when Sara's father past as I wanted Sara to be happy as she…
I've seen the movie and loved it. I hope the book is just as good!
