"Polly in the Southwest" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted fiction follows Polly Brewster and her friends as they navigate the challenges and excitement of life after returning from a long cruise. The group embarks on a new journey towards the southwestern United States, marking yet another chapter in their adventurous lives filled with friendship, intrigue, and the pursuit of treasure
along with personal growth. The opening of the story sets the stage for Polly and her friends who have just returned to New York after a cruise filled with unexpected events. They are initially overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of city life compared to their tranquil experiences at sea. As Mr. Dalken shares a letter about mining interests in Arizona, the friends demonstrate a keen interest in accompanying him on his journey westward, sparking discussions about their future adventures. This opening reveals not only their close friendships but also hints at romantic tensions, particularly between Polly and Tom Latimer, making the story rich with emotional dynamics alongside the promise of adventure and exploration in the Southwest.
