"The Seven Sleuths' Club" by Carol Norton is a children's mystery novel written in the late 1920s. The story revolves around a group of young girls at a girls' seminary in the quaint village of Sunnyside, who decide to form their own detective club, inspired by the boys' own detective group. The main character, Merry Lee, along with her friends, looks for a real mystery to solve, as they encounter adventures and humorous situations along the way. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the girls as they gather in their school library, eagerly awaiting Merry's big news. The school is described as a lively space filled with girls discussing their classes and playing during breaks, setting a playful tone. Merry eventually reveals her secret discovery about the boys' club, which leads to the girls' determination to prove their own cleverness by forming the "Seven Sleuths' Club." As they plan their meetings, they also come across humorous interactions with new characters, including the wealthy and haughty Geraldine Morrison, who is resistant to joining their fun-loving society. The opening chapters showcase the spirit of friendship, exploration, and the innocent quest for adventure that defines the book's charm. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
