E-text prepared by Al Haines "Janice Day at Poketown" by Helen Beecher Long is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Janice Day, a young girl who travels from her home in Greensboro to stay with her uncle in the small, seemingly quaint town of Poketown while her father is in Mexico. As Janice arrives, she carries hopes for exciting new experiences, but quickly discovers that Poketown is far from the vibrant place she imagined, filled instead with a sense of decay and dullness. The opening chapters introduce Janice as she arrives aboard a steamer, immediately showcasing her curiosity and optimistic spirit. However, she soon encounters a series of disheartening impressions of her new home, from the listlessness of her relatives to the run-down condition of their farm and town. Janice also meets various townsfolk, including the peculiar Mrs. Scattergood and her cousin Marty, who embodies the town's apathetic attitude. Through her eyes, we see Janice grapple with homesickness and the bizarre, stagnant culture of Poketown while forming connections with its residents, including a blind girl named Lottie, hinting at potential adventures and deeper themes of longing and connection.
