| Summary | "Esther's Charge: A Story for Girls" by Evelyn Everett-Green is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows ten-year-old Esther, who is thrust into a position of responsibility in managing her home and family after her father's death. As she navigates her duties, she learns of her two cousins, Philip and Percy, who are to come and live with her family, introducing new dynamics and adventures into her otherwise structured life. At the start of the novel, Esther's mother expresses her anxiety about the sudden arrival of the boys, while Esther reveals her maturity and eagerness to help by taking charge of their education. We are introduced to the contrast between Esther's dependence on her mother and the boisterous nature of the incoming boys, which adds excitement and unpredictability to her life. The opening chapters establish the setting in Cornwall, where Esther grapples with her nervousness about Mr. Trelawny, a kind yet intimidating family relation. As she prepares for the boys' arrival, Esther's thoughts reflect her worries and desires, foreshadowing a mix of challenges and growth as she adjusts to the new, boisterous environment the boys will bring.
