About This Book

A series of episodic adventures centers on a circle of energetic young girls who blend outdoor Camp Fire life with practical curiosity about wireless communication and aviation. One girl’s playful love of gardening and poetry contrasts with a companion’s technical enthusiasm, and a mysterious aerial hum propels them into experiments, contests, outings, and cooperative problem solving. Chapters alternate domestic garden scenes, camp traditions, songs, and lively competitions, portraying resourcefulness, friendship, and youthful ingenuity as the group learns new skills, explores new machines, and meets small crises with teamwork and spirited enterprise.
