Turn About Eleanor

"Turn About Eleanor" by Ethel M. Kelley is a heartwarming story about a young girl named Eleanor Hamlin, who goes from a simple life in a small town to the big city, welcomed by a group of young people who want to give her a better home. The story looks at what it means to care for someone, to find where you belong, and the ups and downs of growing up, as Eleanor learns to live in her new home, deal with a new kind of family, and figure out what people expect of her. We first meet Eleanor as she's traveling to the city with one of her new guardians, and we quickly learn that she's had a tough past, filled with responsibility for her grandparents. Through their talks, we see how strong Eleanor is and how much she wants to help her family, even though things have been hard for her, which makes us wonder what life in the city will bring.
