| Summary | "Robin" by Mary Grant Bruce is a children's novel written in the 1920s. The story follows the spirited young protagonist, Robin Hurst, as she navigates life at Calton Hall, a private school in Australia, where she often finds herself in trouble due to her adventurous nature and rebellious spirit. The narrative explores her friendships, struggles with authority, and the dynamics of her school environment while confronting themes of independence and personal growth. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Calton Hall, where the staff is in a tizzy over the mysterious disappearance of cream puffs meant for a party. This comedic scene sets the tone for Robin's character, who is mischievous and spirited. We learn about her penchant for adventure through a discussion among her peers regarding her potential raid on the pantry, which Robin enthusiastically undertakes, demonstrating both her daring and resourcefulness. As a series of events unfold, the stage is set for her continued exploits, including her eventual dismissal from school due to her antics and her return home, where she begins to build a new life with her mother. The opening deftly blends humor and character development, engaging readers in a lively and relatable manner. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
