"Ruby at School" by Minnie E. Paull is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a spirited young girl named Ruby Harper, who often finds herself in troublesome situations due to her mischievous behavior and bouts of disobedience. When Ruby's mother falls ill, her father's decision to send her away to boarding school is rooted in the hope that it will ease his wife's worries about
Ruby's antics while providing the young girl a chance to learn discipline and gain an education. The opening of "Ruby at School" introduces readers to Ruby during one of her many escapades, as she devises a plan to stay outdoors overnight in a makeshift playhouse, inspired by the adventurous tales of the "Swiss Family Robinson." Despite her initial excitement, Ruby's mischief leads to a fire hazard that ultimately prompts concern from her father and results in her mother becoming even more ill with worry. As Ruby grapples with the consequences of her actions, she begins to reflect on her behavior and the impact it has on her family's well-being, setting the stage for her journey of growth and self-discovery as she prepares to leave home for school.
