Campfire Girls at Twin Lakes; Or, the Quest of a Summer Vacation

Summer 1911. A group of girls gathers at their Campfire Girls camp, breathless with anticipation for what Katherine Crane is about to announce. Their benefactor, Mrs. Hutchins, has a mission: investigate young Glen, an heir whose guardians may not have his best interests at heart. What begins as a carefree vacation quickly becomes something stranger and more urgent. A lawyer is following them, his motives unclear. The girls must balance canoeing and campfires with covert observations and daring deductions, all while navigating the complex politics of small-town secrets. Stella M. Francis writes with warmth and wit about a generation of girls learning that friendship isn't just about sharing secrets, it's about keeping them. The mystery unfolds gently, but the real pleasure lies in watching these young women trust each other with a task that adults have botched. It's a period piece, yes, but one that understands something timeless about the power of girls who choose each other.
