The trio escapes from the school after Mary is told she must go stay with an uncle in Knoxville, Tennessee, after her father dies. Luckily, she is supported by her friends, two other school outcasts: Mary, 15, is an imaginative girl who wants to be a writer, and Cedric, 16, is an artistic boy with a condition that affects his legs. Sara, hurt by the constant remarks, nevertheless holds her head high even after she becomes a servant following her parents’ deaths and the disappearance of her wealth. Sara has Irish, German, Spanish, and Filipino ancestry, and the racist treatment begins immediately.
When 16-year-old Sara arrives in England in 1865 to attend the Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentlemen, her brown skin has everyone talking. Having riffed on Little Women in Jo & Laurie (2020), the co-authors now create a mashup with characters from several Frances Hodgson Burnett classics. Mary Lennox, Sara Crewe, and Cedric Errol all in the same book?
