Summary "The Youngest Girl in the Fifth: A School Story" by Angela Brazil is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Gwen Gascoyne, a fourteen-and-a-quarter-year-old girl who is unexpectedly promoted to the Fifth Form at her school, Rodenhurst. As the youngest member of her new class, Gwen navigates the challenges of fitting in among older students, while facing jealousy and animosity from her new classmates alongside her own insecurities. At the start of the book, the chaotic atmosphere of the schoolroom introduces Gwen, who finds herself thrust into the senior class after a surprising decision by the headmistress, Miss Roscoe. This transition is met with skepticism and distaste from the other girls in the Fifth Form, who see Gwen as an unwelcome intruder due to her age and status as a former Junior. The opening sets the stage for a series of conflicts and challenges, highlighting Gwen's desire to prove herself academically and socially while grappling with her own self-worth as she strives to navigate the complicated dynamics of school friendships and rivalries.
