Summary: "Running to Waste: The Story of a Tomboy" by George M. Baker is a novel written in the late 19th century. This coming-of-age story revolves around Becky Sleeper, a spirited tomboy who often finds herself in trouble due to her adventurous nature and mischievous escapades. The narrative captures her youthful defiance and the ensuing challenges she faces while navigating the expectations placed upon young girls of her time. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Becky and her brother Teddy as they embark on a light-hearted adventure to steal apples from Captain Thompson's orchard. Becky's boldness is evident as she directs Teddy from atop a wall during the heist. Their playful thievery is interrupted when Captain Thompson catches them, igniting an amusing chase. Through witty dialogue and vivid character descriptions, the opening section establishes Becky's tomboyish charm, her affinity for adventure, and the dynamic between her and her more timid brother, all set in the backdrop of their small New England town, Cleverly.
