The Little Princess: The shocking true story of a little girl imprisoned in her own home.

This is quite a difficult book to read (I read it when I was 8 but I'd recommend waiting till age 9-11).
By contrast, in the novel, Sara's father really dies. While Sara is eventually restored to social status by her father's friend, that restoration is incomplete–she's still an orphan. The ending is happy but bittersweet. The movie hits a reset button, and gives us an ending that's sickly-sweet.
Sara is almost too good to be true: smart, brave, and kind, she's saved from being completely unbelievable by the fact that she's just not that pretty. (At least, according to her.) But it's what's inside that counts, and Sara has nothing but character.
If the story is called The Little Princess, then it's specifically about Sara. Sara is the little princess, because she has inner nobility that's unique and special to her.
Not a G film. Some positive messages but very tragic with a happy ending that hardly makes up for the suffering and sadness throughout.
