About This Book

A group of Campfire Girls in a small town become fascinated with wireless radio, learn to rig aerials and operate a receiving set, and spark neighborhood curiosity. Their radio experiments intersect with everyday youthful activities and community events, including a canoe trip, a fundraising bazaar, and holiday celebrations. Strange broadcasts and cryptic messages generate local mysteries that prompt investigations, rivalries, and fears of a ghostly or witchlike presence. The girls respond with practical effort, cooperation, and cleverness, exposing a radio trick and resolving the puzzling occurrences by involving neighbors and using ingenuity.
