"A Borrowed Sister" by Eliza Orne White is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lois Page, an only child who is thrilled to welcome a "borrowed sister," Jessie Matthews, into her home while Jessie's family is temporarily away. As the two girls navigate their new friendship, the narrative explores themes of companionship, childhood adventures, and the joys and challenges of sharing a living space. 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. The opening chapters highlight the three girls' interactions as they express their feelings about the changes in their relationships while managing their emotions and preparing for the addition of Jessie to their lives. This charming beginning sets the stage for a heartwarming exploration of friendship and growing up. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
