The Peppers carry home into school
The Pepper family is built around love more than money. Mamsie, the mother, holds the household together, and her children follow her example. Polly, Ben, Joel, Davie and little Phronsie each have a clear nature, and readers of the series come to know them well.
When the story moves into school life, those natures meet a bigger crowd. A schoolroom has its own rules, its own jokes and its own ways of making a newcomer feel small or welcome. The Peppers meet this with the habits they learned at home, such as sharing, helping and speaking up for one another.
This is the first thing the book shows. A child's character does not stay at the door of the house. It goes along to every new place, and it shapes how that place treats you.
