Résumé

"Randy and Her Friends" by Amy Brooks is a charming narrative set in a rural village, focusing on the life of Randy Weston, a bright and ambitious young girl. The story begins with Randy contemplating how to spend a five-dollar gold piece she won as a prize for being the best scholar. Her thoughtful nature leads her to decide to use the money to anonymously gift a dress and shoes to her friend Molly Wilson, who is unable to afford new clothes for school. This act of kindness sets the tone for Randy's character throughout the book. The village is abuzz with discussions about improving the local school, with various characters expressing differing opinions. The school committee eventually decides to purchase and renovate a vacant farmhouse to accommodate the growing number of students, a decision that reflects the community's commitment to education. Randy's interactions with her friends, including Belinda Babson and her mischievous cousin Hi, add humor and warmth to the narrative. The story also touches on the aspirations and challenges of other characters, such as Timotheus Simpkins, who believes he has outgrown the need for formal education, and Phoebe Small, who yearns to attend a boarding school. The book captures the essence of small-town life, highlighting themes of friendship, generosity, and the pursuit of knowledge. Randy's determination to excel in her studies and her willingness to help others make her a role model for young readers. The narrative is enriched by the vibrant community life and the various personalities that populate the village, making it a delightful read for those who appreciate stories of kindness and personal growth.
