QR code
"The Youngest Girl in the School" by Evelyn Sharp is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Barbara, a lively and imaginative eleven-year-old girl, who is eager to leave her chaotic home life with her five brothers to attend a girls' school, where she yearns for friendships and new experiences. At the start of the book, we see Barbara in her London schoolroom, preparing for the
arrival of her Aunt Anna and her cousin Jill. Barbara’s family dynamics reveal her as the "Babe" among brothers, struggling with their teasing but maintaining a desire for more than their rough boyhood games. She dreams of school as a place of order and companionship, expressing her longing to escape the mischievousness of her brothers. As Aunt Anna arrives, expectations unfold about how Barbara’s life will change, marking the beginning of her journey into a new world of school and friendships, but also anxiety about fitting in with her new peers.
