Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant change in social status, family finances, or is processing the death of a parent. It is a modern, realistic reimagining of the classic story A Little Princess, focusing on Molly, a girl who goes from being the most popular student at a prestigious boarding school to a charity student living in a drafty attic after her father dies. This story provides a safe space to explore feelings of isolation and unfairness while modeling how to maintain one's dignity and kindness when others are unkind. It is particularly appropriate for readers aged 8 to 12 who are sensitive to social dynamics and the pain of being left out. Parents will appreciate how the book addresses financial hardship and grief without becoming overly dark, ultimately championing inner strength over material wealth.
