"Nancy Brandon" by Lilian Garis is a tale from the early 1900's about a lively teenage girl named Nancy Brandon. She and her younger brother, Ted, spend their summer managing the Whatnot Shop, a small store in the countryside. The story explores Nancy's independence, her relationship with her brother, and the problems of running a business, all while getting to know the local people. With the banter between Nancy and Ted, we see that Nancy is excited about her shop, while her brother has his doubts. We discover the complexities of the town through Miss Townsend, the shop's previous owner. With friendship and challenges, Nancy works through a summer of new responsibilities.
