About this book
A call across a wooded bay draws Laura Haven's canoe toward a camp of white tents. There she finds her friend Anne Wentworth, a Guardian in the Camp Fire Girls, and accepts an invitation to the evening Council Fire. Laura has arrived by yacht, while many of Anne's girls pay for a brief holiday away from work. Their meeting gives I. T. Thurston's children's novel a clear interest in friendship across differences of money and opportunity.
The camp's ceremonies, tests and grades connect outdoor pleasure with health, useful work and care for others. Later, that ideal takes a personal shape in Jim, a boy recently in hospital who worries about where he will live, and in his effort to understand Olga's reserve.
