Ruth Fielding at Snow Camp; Or, Lost in the Backwoods

Winter break should be simple: a camping trip with friends in the snowy woods near Scarboro. But Ruth Fielding and her companions find themselves sprinting across a pasture with an angry bull hot on their heels, and that's only the beginning. When they discover Fred Hatfield, a sullen, mysterious boy who may be a runaway, their holiday takes an unexpected turn. Ruth impulsively follows when Fred escapes the train, leaping onto a stolen wagon as it careens toward the wilderness. A panther's shriek splits the night. A hermit emerges from the shadows. What begins as a carefree winter vacation becomes a test of courage, loyalty, and quick thinking. A century after its publication, Ruth Fielding at Snow Camp endures because it captures something timeless: the conviction that young people are capable of extraordinary things when adventure calls. Perfect for readers who love classic adventure stories and vintage children's fiction.
