About This Book

A spirited young girl sent to live with relatives spends a summer at a country camp where a local troop of Girl Scouts, woodland outings, and household discoveries prompt her transformation from spoiled daydreamer to responsible friend. The narrative follows her adjustment to new names and roles, a sequence of misadventures—attic mysteries, a youth in hiding, a daring rescue by a self-styled danger squad—and episodes that reveal compassion, teamwork, and personal growth. Playful initiations, picnics, and reconciliations are woven together to produce renewed friendships and a more grounded, generous temperament.
