The Camp Fire Girls; Or, The Secret of an Old Mill

The Camp Fire Girls; Or, The Secret of an Old Mill

Howard Roger Garis

Four girls. One summer. A mysterious old mill. In this charming early twentieth-century adventure, Alice, Mabel, Marie, and Natalie earn their Wood Gatherer sashes and immediately set out to prove they have what it takes for real camping. But the wilderness proves trickier than they imagined, and when a fortune-telling Gypsy appears with cryptic warnings and a diamond ring goes missing, the girls must blend their new outdoor skills with some old-fashioned detective work. The stakes are delightfully personal: Can they earn the respect of the boys who mocked them? Can they solve the mystery of the old mill before their summer adventure ends in disgrace? Garis writes with genuine affection for his young protagonists, capturing that magical age when friendship feels eternal and every forest path might lead to wonder. Perfect for readers who love historical children's literature, wholesome mysteries, or anyone seeking a window into what adventure meant to girls a century ago.
