I read that line and my stomach dropped.  A sequel to A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett!  Say it ain’t so.

Then my eye caught the name of the author who is writing it: Hilary McKay.  I love McKay’s writing style, her artistic nature, the poise of her books.  And I can see her doing this very well. 

So now it is with mixed feelings that I will approach this book: Wishing for Tomorrow.  The book follows the girls who are left behind at the school, which should make for a wonderful story.  It’s just too bad that Tasha Tudor won’t be able to do the illustrations.

Let’s hope that McKay does Sara Crewe and the Casson family proud.
