The Corner House Girls at School by Grace Brooks Hill is a delightful tale that follows the lives of the Kenway sisters-Ruth, Agnes, Tess, and Dot-as they navigate their new life in the old Corner House in Milton. The story begins with the arrival of a goat named Billy Bumps, gifted to Tess by the mischievous Sam Pinkney. The goat's presence leads to a series of humorous and chaotic events, including an encounter with a neighbor's pig that frequently invades their garden. The narrative introduces Neale O'Neil, a white-haired boy with a mysterious past, who saves Agnes from a precarious situation and becomes a temporary boarder at the Corner House. Neale's presence adds a new dynamic to the household, as he helps with chores and forms a bond with the sisters. The story is rich with themes of friendship, family, and the challenges of adapting to new environments. The Kenway sisters, each with distinct personalities, face various adventures and misadventures, from dealing with Aunt Sarah's peculiarities to managing the antics of their new animal companions. The book captures the essence of early 20th-century life, emphasizing the importance of community and the joys of childhood exploration.
