| Summary | "Play the Game!" by Ruth Comfort Mitchell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Honor Carmody, an exuberant young girl with a preference for the company of boys over girls, as her family decides her educational path. Honor's struggle is set against her vibrant relationships, particularly with her stepfather Stephen and her childhood friend Jimsy King, who grapples with the legacy of his family's troubled history. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Honor's world as she expresses her reluctance to attend an all-girls school, showcasing her close bond with boys, especially Jimsy. The narrative presents a lively family dynamic, especially through the interactions between Honor, her mother Mildred, and her playful stepfather Stephen. As Jimsy prepares for high school football and balances the expectations laid upon him due to his family's reputation, Honor steps into the role of a supportive friend, determined to help him succeed academically. This rich opening sets the stage for questions of identity, friendship, and the significance of one's background, giving readers a captivating glimpse into the lives of its characters.
