Summary "Marjorie's New Friend" by Carolyn Wells is a children's novel written during the early 20th century. It follows the life of Marjorie Maynard, a young girl navigating the ups and downs of childhood friendships, particularly her close bond with her best friend, Gladys. The narrative delves into themes of love, loss, and the spirit of generosity during the holiday season. The opening of the story introduces Marjorie's struggle to create a secret Christmas gift for her mother, revealing her creative yet clumsy nature. As Marjorie grapples with her sewing project, we glimpse her family dynamics and the warmth of their home during the festive season. The interactions between Marjorie, her siblings, and father showcase a loving environment, setting the tone for the themes of friendship and the joys of giving. This early portion of the book lays the groundwork for more profound emotional challenges as it hints at upcoming changes in Marjorie's life due to her best friend's impending move, which adds a layer of complexity to Marjorie’s journey of self-discovery and resilience.
