Shōkōjo Seira, a 2009 remake with the main character Japanese and named Seira, aged 16 when her father dies, and as an Indian Princess. She continues to pretend and act as if she is a gentle and beautiful princess even as the antagonists treat her terribly. She saw that you were a hard-hearted, worldly woman, and that I was a weak fool, and that we were both of us vulgar and mean enough to grovel on our knees for her money, and behave ill to her because it was taken from her—though she behaved herself like a little princess even when she was a beggar. Miss Minchin gives a very brief one to Sara when Erminegarde gives her a Christmas present, telling her to open it downstairs instead of taking it away from her. The Little Princess needs to rescue her space hopper from the apple tree, but she is just not tall enough!

I highly recommend parents to read this to their children and discuss with them the differences of that time period. The owner of the school didn't like Sara very much, but had to treat her nicely because of how much money her father was paying the school.A wonderfully funny and reassuring book that will ring true with anyone who has ever moved house with a toddler. Older Than They Look: Becky is said to be 14 when she comes to the school to work, but is so stunted in growth from malnutrition and overwork, she looks much younger.

note Since even pet rats only live about four years, and since Melchie was full-grown when Sara came to the attic, it's very likely that he lived out his natural lifespan during the events of the book and may have simply died without Sara finding out.

Too Hungry to Be Polite: The street girl Sara gives five of her penny buns to tears ravenously into them, exclaiming only, "Oh my! with original music composed by a young girl, Torilinn Cwanek, at the Allen County Public Library Auditorium in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in February 2013, performing six shows.
