Summary "Bessie at School" by Joanna H. Mathews is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Bessie Bradford and her sister Maggie as they navigate their new lives, particularly focusing on Maggie's transition to school while Bessie is too young to attend. The novel emphasizes themes of family bonds, individual struggles with new environments, and the importance of kindness and understanding among peers. At the start of the narrative, we find Bessie sleeping peacefully after a long outing, while Maggie engages in a letter-writing task. The story reveals that their mother has been ill, and the family is making adjustments to cope. Soon, their mother informs Maggie that she will be attending a new school, which causes turmoil for both sisters. Bessie is concerned about not being able to go with Maggie, leading to emotional discussions regarding their mother's health and their fears about school. The chapter highlights Maggie's reluctance towards school and the subsequent resolution that Bessie will be allowed to join her sister in lessons, demonstrating the deep connection between the siblings and setting the groundwork for the adventures they will face within the school environment.
