A World of Girls: The Story of a School by L. T. Meade
"A World of Girls: The Story of a School" by L.T. Meade is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl, Hester Thornton, as she faces the challenges of leaving her home and entering a new school environment after the death of her mother. Themes of friendship, personal growth, and the difficulties of adapting to change are likely explored through the interactions between Hester
and her fellow students. The opening of the narrative introduces Hester as she prepares to leave her beloved home and younger sister, Nan, for the uncertainty of school life. The initial chapters highlight Hester's emotional turmoil, her attachment to her family, particularly to her baby sister, and her apprehension about the school, which she perceives as a prison. As she travels to Lavender House, the school, Hester encounters a mix of kindness and indifference from new acquaintances, setting the stage for her internal struggles and external relationships. This establishes a poignant exploration of her character and the challenges she must navigate in this new world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
