| Summary |
"Just Gerry" by Christine Chaundler is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Geraldine Wilmott, a shy and nervous girl, as she navigates her first term at boarding school, Wakehurst Priory. As she tries to fit in, she faces challenges from her peers, particularly from Phyllis Tressider and Dorothy Pemberton, who seem to take issue with the new girl's presence in what they consider their cubicle. At the start of the story, Geraldine arrives at her dormitory cubicle and feels both nervous and hopeful about her time at the school. She is introduced to the dynamics of her new environment, including the teasing and challenges posed by her classmates, as well as her own deep shyness and fear of making friends. After an awkward encounter with Phyllis, Geraldine begins to uncover the complexities of school life, including cliques and potential adversaries. The opening sets a foundation for Geraldine's journey as she struggles to cope with her insecurities, make friends, and deal with the pressures of fitting into her new school community.
