| Summary |
"Norma: A Flower Scout" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. This story is part of the Country Life Series aimed at young girls, focusing on the adventures and personal growth of its protagonist, Norma, as she embarks on a journey of flower gardening and the establishment of a Girl Scout patrol. The narrative explores themes of nature, friendship, and the responsibilities of caring for living things, all set against the backdrop of summer in the country. The opening of the story introduces us to Norma through a heartfelt letter she writes home, describing her arrival at Green Hill Farm with her friends, Belle Barlow and Frances Lowden. As they navigate challenges like muddy shoes and an unaccommodating hack driver, we see their personalities emerge, particularly the determined and comical Belle. The girls quickly settle into farm life, and as the chapter unfolds, we learn about their plans to form a Girl Scout troop, with Norma expressing her enthusiasm for creating a flower garden. Through her interactions with the knowledgeable Mrs. Tompkins, Norma begins to understand the joys and responsibilities of gardening, setting the stage for her growth and seasonal adventures in the natural world.
