In this "sequel" to A Little Princess, McKay makes a valiant effort to set her book in the same black-and-white universe as Burnett's, but soon we're happily inhabiting McKayland, where everyone is human and therefore sympathetic. Although written out of love for a favorite classic, this book is less for Little Princess fans and more for devotees of the openhearted, endlessly forgiving McKay.
