| Summary | "Annabel: A Novel for Young Folks" by Suzanne Metcalf is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Will Carden, a vegetable boy from a struggling family, who befriends Annabel Williams, the daughter of a wealthy family. As Will grapples with his social status and the challenges of growing up in a divided community, he embarks on a journey of friendship, courage, and self-discovery. The beginning of the narrative introduces us to Will Carden, who is delivering freshly harvested vegetables to the Williams household. Despite his cheerful demeanor, Will faces a harsh rebuke from Mrs. Williams, who disapproves of her children playing with someone of his lower social class. This rejection leaves Will feeling humiliated, yet he manages to maintain his self-respect by helping the Williams children with their kite and comforting little Gladys when her doll is broken. The strong contrast between Will's humble reality and the affluent world of the Williams' serves as a backdrop for tensions that arise from societal expectations, family dynamics, and the budding friendship between Will and Annabel.
