Wishing for Tomorrow: The Sequel to a Little Princess - Softcover

In this delightful sequel to A Little Princess, Sara Crewe has gone away with the Indian gentleman, and now nothing is the same at Miss Minchin’s. Spoiled Lottie, awful Lavinia, and shy Ermengarde are all left to make their own way at the Select Seminary for Young Ladies, along with a new maid—Alice from Epping, a bright girl from the country whose practicality and confidence are a refreshing change from stodgy Miss Minchin. But when Ermengarde wishes for no more Miss Minchin’s on her thirteenth birthday, her wish comes true in a fiery and dramatic climax. Ending with a surprise visit from Sara, this is a lovely story about finding your way and things coming out right.
