This retelling of the well-known classic is both charming and accessible to younger readers. "I do sometimes pretend I am a princess, so that I can try and behave like a proper one."

But when Sara descends into poverty and is forced to work as a lowly servant, she needs all her courage and imagination to remain a princess at heart.
