Summary: "A Borrowed Sister" by Eliza Orne White is a children's novel written in the early 20th century.

At the start of the novel, Lois is excited about Jessie's impending arrival and begins to prepare for her new sister's stay, noting the differences between Jessie and her other friend, Ellen. While Jessie is calm and agreeable, Ellen has a more complex friendship with Lois due to her unpredictable temper.
