Summary: "Half a Dozen Girls" by Anna Chapin Ray is a delightful novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around a group of six girls, primarily following the adventures and mischief of Polly Adams, as they navigate their spirited childhood and the spirited dynamics of friendships amidst quaint domestic settings. This charming narrative explores themes of personal growth, conflict resolution, and the innocence of youth.
