Summary "Mabel's Mishap" by Amy Ella Blanchard is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Mabel Ford, who faces the consequences of her actions after accidentally ruining a precious book belonging to her father. The narrative captures Mabel's journey of friendship, compassion, and personal growth as she navigates her relationships with her new friend Harold, who is dealing with the absence of his father, an army captain stationed in Cuba. In the tale, Mabel's curiosity and creativity lead her to meddling with her father's belongings, resulting in an unintended mishap that weighs heavily on her conscience. As Mabel seeks to rectify her mistake, she befriends Harold, a boy who's experiencing his own struggles. Their friendship blossoms through shared adventures, particularly after Mabel invites Harold to her home when he is feeling lonely. The story takes a poignant turn when Harold's father is reported dead, but ultimately reveals the truth when his father returns safely. Through these experiences, Mabel learns valuable lessons about honesty, responsibility, and the meaning of true bravery, ultimately strengthening her bonds with her friends and family.
