The Gilded Girl by Alyssa Colman
5.0
The Gilded Girl is a delightful, enrapturing, and heart-warming tale! Plot wise, I felt it was a reimagining of the classic, A Little Princess. The story was both familiar and new, twisting a well-loved tale with magic and historical events.
I found correlations of certain character and storyline aspects from other works of art, specifically Dickon Sowerby from The Secret Garden, and the general story of The Newsies (though loosely).
Subjects touched upon, with some exclusions, are; friendship, social classes, servitude, rights, greed and envy, death and loss, equal rights and self worth.
Overall, I felt The Gilded Girl was a cute, heart-warming middle grade which was fast paced, well written, and a notable read.
The cover of The Gilded Girl is darling!
