Lennie Leighton is leaving the governess she shares with her younger sisters to attend school. She is full of excitement and confidence, but has a false start when she receives poor marks in an exam.

She also finds a best friend in Mabel James, and the closeness of their friendship contributes to the warmth and heart of this school girl story. First published in 1897.
