Summary "Bobs, A Girl Detective" by Carol Norton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces four sisters from the Vandergrift family who are facing a significant change in their circumstances after their father's death leaves them destitute. Roberta, affectionately known as Bobs, stands out as the adventurous and spirited protagonist, eager to take on challenges and embrace the excitement of a new life, particularly in becoming a girl detective. The opening of the novel sets the stage for the Vandergrift sisters' transition from a life of affluence to one of self-sufficiency and exploration. After discovering that their ancestral home is no longer theirs, the sisters—Gloria, Gwendolyn, Lena May, and Bobs—debate their next steps, with Gloria suggesting they move to New York and find work. Bobs, enthusiastic about the adventure, expresses her desire to be a detective. The dynamics among the sisters are explored through their dialogue, revealing their different personalities and coping mechanisms as they prepare to leave behind their old lives for something unknown, setting the tone for a story of female empowerment and resilience amidst hardship.
