The story centers around the exuberant adventures of Betty Gordon, a young girl who is preparing to attend boarding school along with her friends and is filled with anticipation for the experiences that await her.

The beginning sets a lively tone, featuring the playful exchanges between Betty, Bob, and their interactions with the Chinese cook, Lee Chang. Betty's excitement for her upcoming adventure at boarding school is palpable, especially as she discusses letters from friends who are also attending, and they prepare for the journey ahead.
