Summary: "Turn About Eleanor" by Ethel M. Kelley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a ten-year-old girl named Eleanor Hamlin as she transitions from her humble life in Colhassett, Massachusetts, to a new life in New York City, where she is 'adopted' by a group of well-meaning but inexperienced young adults. The narrative explores themes of nurturing, belonging, and the complexities of childhood as Eleanor navigates her new surroundings, families, and societal expectations. The opening of the book introduces Eleanor as she is being escorted through the city by David Bolling, one of her new guardians. As he converses with her, it becomes clear that she has come from a difficult background, feeling the weight of responsibility toward her elderly grandparents. Through their dialogue, readers gain insight into Eleanor's character—her resilience and determination to care for her family despite her own hardships. As David brings her to meet her new 'cooperative parents,' the apprehension and excitement surrounding her new life are palpable, setting the stage for her emotional journey throughout the story.
