Exceptionally crafted, Sacramento Theatre Company's world premiere of "A Little Princess" is full of imagination and excitement. A well-paced book by William J Brooke follows the story of young Sara Crewe's dealings with life's troubles. From "supposing" optimism to acceptance and pragmatism, the psychological drama of the adaptation reads down-to-earth and true, especially as Sara's journey contrasts with schoolmistress Miss Minchin's aversion to happy endings. And it's matched by exquisite music written by Eric Rockwell.

Everyone needs a hero, especially young girls. Avid reader and author Kathleen Schuller showcases her favorite heroines in this new book, sharing ideas with a new generation of young readers who may not have read these inspiring books yet. None of these literary heroines is perfect, but they grow in spirit thanks to circumstances and influence from others. Schuller aims to help young girls visualize the virtues of these heroines and apply them to their own lives.
