Hilary McKay revisits Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies after the events of A Little Princess and Sara Crewe's happily ever after. But Sara is much missed - and most acutely by best friend Ermengarde, who laments that 'nothing is the same as it was before'. But life must go on at Miss Minchin's as new friendships are made, rivalries continued, lessons learned and, most importantly, fairytale endings are had.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Wonderful. -- Guardian 20091128 'Handsomely illustrated by Nick Maland, it has a humour and a humanity of it's own, and adds to, rather than detracts from, the original.' -- The Sunday Times 20091128 'Wittily illustrated by Nick Maland, packed with humour and just enough heartache to keep readers involved, this charming novel is a real treat' -- Nicholas Tucker, Independent 20091128 'Wishing for Tomorrow is a warm, witty read that offers more realistic advice on climbing out of poverty than inheriting a diamond mine' -- Daily Telegraph 20091128 Funny, clever and vividly characterised - I loved it. -- Bounemouth Daily Echo 20091030 Charming, stylish, often funny, and frequently very moving. -- School Librarian 20090901 Warm and wise. -- Sunday Express 20091115 A pitch-perfect reconstruction of the attic world of Miss Minchin's Seminary. -- Independent 20091129 A superb job of breathing new life into familiar characters. **** -- Books For Keeps 20090901 Clever, sweet, lively and well-written. -- Times 20090926 Superbly realised... very true to the original... a cleverly entertaining book. -- School Librarian 20100701
