(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Scott McKowen. The story of Sara Crewe, a wealthy boarding school student who retains her pluck even when her personal circumstances change, is presented in its unabridged format. A handful of scratchboard illustrations (all featuring a monkey that doesn't debut until halfway through the novel) repeat over and over as chapter headers. The book concludes with some open-ended questions to stimulate thought.
