" As sequels written years after the original, and not by the original author, this wasn't bad. It is an "after happily ever after" sequel and possibly accurate. What did happen to the Minchin Select Seminary after their star pupil left under less than positive circumstances? The back story on how the school was started, the motivations of Lavinia and Ermegarde and Jessica - none of these things could have been part of the original, focused as it was on Sara. The book tries to maintain some of the sweetness of the original, but not so much that it makes your teeth hurt. I was surprised to enjoy it, but really did. "
