"Natalie: A Garden Scout" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the challenges faced by a young girl named Natalie Averill after the death of her father leaves her family without means. As she grapples with the prospect of moving from her city life to her family's old farm in the countryside, she encounters unexpected opportunities and ultimately a chance for personal growth. The opening of the novel introduces Natalie and her plight, revealing her concerns about moving to the isolated Green Hill Farm. She feels an overwhelming sense of loss and uncertainty as she must leave behind her city life and friends. Her sympathetic schoolmates—Janet, Frances, Norma, and Belle—gather to discuss Natalie's situation and express their concern. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about the potential benefits of farm life and the joy of outdoor activities, setting the stage for Natalie's transformation as she becomes involved with Girl Scouts, embraces gardening, and seeks to build a happier future on the farm alongside her guardians and friends.
