| Summary | "Cousin Becky's Champions" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Cousin Becky, who recently loses her family and moves in with her distant relatives, the Trent family. Through her interactions with the Trents, particularly the siblings Roger and Polly, themes of kindness, poverty, and family support unfold, reflecting the challenges and warmth of domestic life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Roger Trent, who grapples with his temper after confronting his cousin Edgar for a cruel act against a dog. The narrative quickly shifts to the dynamics of the Trent family, who have faced financial struggles, highlighting their gratitude for the kindness of their wealthier relatives. As they discuss their Aunt Janie's disdain for their financial state, it becomes clear that Cousin Becky is coming to stay with them after losing her brother. The opening portion sets the stage for the relationships among the characters and foreshadows the themes of empathy, social class differences, and the importance of community support, particularly as they prepare to welcome Cousin Becky into their humble home.
