"Hollowmell" by E. R. Burden is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Minnie Kimberley, a schoolgirl who embarks on a mission to improve the lives of the miners and their families living in deplorable conditions in Hollowmell. Through her compassionate and energetic nature, she aims to introduce positive changes both physically and spiritually to her community. At the start of the novel, Minnie expresses her usual frustration over lost books, showcasing her careless but lively character. Her friend, Mona, highlights Minnie's need for organization, leading Minnie to resolve to amend her behavior. As she contemplates deeper issues, particularly about living a life of purpose, she shares her newfound convictions with her closest friend, Mabel. Inspired to help others and embody her Christian values, Minnie proposes initiatives to assist the miners and their families, ultimately leading her to inspire others in her school to join her mission. This opening foreshadows the story's themes of friendship, personal growth, and community service as Minnie sets out on her undertaking. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
