Secret #3 - A Little Princess

I could never figure this out. How old *is* Sara Crewe by the time she's 'found'?
In the book, she's eleven when she gets the news about her father, but I've never really been able to figure out how old she is by the end. Twelve? Fifteen?

Anybody have an ideas?

I believe it is 4 years as a student and then about 2 years in the attic, so that would be 13, maybe 14.

Cool!
It never seemed very clear, and people seem to treat her as *young* girl, but then when she starts getting food regularly, suddenly Miss Minchin has her teaching the students and you'd think she'd have to be older for that.....

That and 'Secret Garden' are right up there in my top ten of 'books i read as a kid and still love'.

It was my favorite book as a kid. I think I read it at least a hundred times.

A Little Princess is one of my favorite books and I reread it about once a year, but for some reason, I've never thought about how old she was. For some reason, I always thought she was twelve when she was found, but I can't find any textual reason to support that.
