Summary: "Polly: A New-Fashioned Girl" by L. T. Meade is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Polly Perkins, a spirited and adventurous fourteen-year-old girl navigating the challenges of life in a large family. Following the death of her mother, Polly finds herself thrust into an unexpected position of responsibility as she embarks on a week-long experiment of managing her family's household. The opening portion sets up the story by illustrating the serene yet stifling summer day as Polly's excitement and innocence come to the fore. As she engages with her environment—capturing thrushes and contemplating the arrival of a new baby—it is clear that her world is about to change dramatically. The subsequent news of her mother’s death abruptly shifts the circumstances, placing the young girl in a more mature role amidst her grieving family. As the narrative unfolds, we see her determination to step up in the absence of her mother, a quest that reflects her strong will and desire for agency. Ultimately, the beginning of the novel establishes the tone of adventure and resilience that defines Polly's journey as she learns to navigate her new reality.
