Summary "When Sarah Went to School" by Elsie Singmaster is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces Sarah, a young girl who is transitioning from a life of responsibility on a farm to the world of education and social interaction at the Normal School. As Sarah navigates her emotions and the challenges of school life, the story explores themes of growth, friendship, and the trials of adapting to a new environment. At the start of the novel, Sarah is depicted engaging in imaginative play with her younger siblings, showcasing her youthful spirit and the innocence of childhood. As she prepares to leave for the Normal School the following day, she experiences a mix of excitement and apprehension about the transition. Her supportive family, particularly her brother William and sister-in-law Laura, encourage her, but Sarah grapples with feelings of inadequacy and homesickness. The opening sets the stage for Sarah's journey of self-discovery as she learns to balance the joys of childhood with the responsibilities of growing up in a new, unfamiliar setting.
