"Janet: A Stock-Farm Scout" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Janet Wardell, a young girl excited to spend her summer working on a stock farm while also participating in her Girl Scout endeavors. Through her adventures, Janet learns about farm life, the responsibilities that come with raising animals, and the value of friendship and teamwork. The opening of the novel introduces Janet as she arrives at Green Hill Farm, where she is looking forward to a summer of fun and relaxation. However, she quickly becomes involved in unexpected responsibilities when her friend Natalie suggests starting a stock farm together. As Janet reflects on her initial plans for an easy summer, she is pulled into the practical challenges of maintaining her new farm, which includes raising pigs and chickens, building enclosures, and handling the various antics of her livestock.
