| Summary |
"Gloria at Boarding School" by Lilian Garis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Gloria Doane, a spirited and independent teenager navigating the challenges of life at a boarding school. As she grapples with rules and restrictions, Gloria’s early experiences of freedom contrast sharply with her new surroundings, setting the stage for her adventures and discoveries among fellow students. At the start of the book, Gloria arrives at Altmount, a boarding school, alongside her friend Trixy Travers, who is equally eager to embrace this new chapter. Despite her initial cynicism toward the constraints of boarding school life, Gloria quickly encounters a mix of intriguing personalities, including the exuberant Jack Corday and the aloof Mary Mears. Amidst unpacking her belongings, Gloria mistakenly opens another girl's trunk, discovering a collection of sparkling objects and a mysterious red gem, which piques her curiosity. The chapter establishes Gloria’s sense of adventure and foreshadows the unfolding mysteries and friendships that will shape her time at Altmount. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
