Summary |
"The Testing of Janice Day" by Helen Beecher Long is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Janice Day, a spirited young girl living in the quaint town of Polktown, as she navigates life after her father sends her an unexpected surprise from Mexico, an automobile, which symbolizes change and new opportunities. At the start of the book, Janice is eagerly anticipating a surprise from her father; her cousin Marty and she engage in playful speculation about the possible gift. Janice, a lively and responsible character, displays a deep longing for her father, who has been away working at a mine for two years. When she learns that the surprise is a new car, her excitement captures the attention of her relatives and the townsfolk, and this event marks the beginning of her adventures. As Janice navigates her new car, learns to drive, and interacts with new acquaintances such as Frank Bowman, a civil engineer, the narrative unfolds various themes of family, friendship, and personal growth amid a changing society.
