About This Book

A young girl escapes an oppressive household and finds refuge with a group of outdoor-minded peers who teach self-reliance, campcraft, and cooperation. At camp she learns practical skills, prepares meals, and forms close friendships, especially with a companion anxious about an absent parent. Tensions arise from an unjust accusation and circulating rumors that lead to a midnight alarm and a perilous search in the woods, where the girls confront danger, test loyalties, and untangle deceptions. Relying on teamwork and resourcefulness, they expose the truth at a council fire and reinforce bonds of trust and communal responsibility.
