About This Book

A circle of schoolgirls travel into the woods to spend a summer at a rustic camp, where mishaps on the journey—most notably a bolting horse that scatters trunks and delays their arrival—give way to an episodic season of camp life. The narrative follows their practical trials, ceremonies around the council fire, spirited competitions, a ghostly scare, storm and forest hazards, and moments of humor and rivalry. Through shared work, resourcefulness, and steady supervision they learn outdoor skills, responsibility, and camaraderie, and the series of adventures resolves in a reassuring conclusion.
