He had invested all of his money with a friend who disappeared with the money so Sara has been left without a penny. Now, with no way to pay Miss Minchin, Sara must work and clean and live in a small room in the attic. She is not to talk to the other young ladies. All of her beautiful clothing must be returned. Her clothes have become tattered and she is always hungry. Sara's situation looks hopeless until she meets the people who live next door.
