I've been creating some beaded patches for my Little Women series on latchkey girls.

Looking back on my own experience, I've been recalling cultural signifiers for myself as a start. Encyclopedia Brown books, I was turned onto after my parent's divorce by my new stepbrother.

Years prior, it was Enid Blyton, Gordon Korman, and Beverly Cleary titles that I would read in succession. But the child detective series was like reading Scooby Doo cartoons with a Hardy Boys edge. And I loved that.
