| Summary |
"The Campfire Girls of Roselawn: Or a Strange Message from the Air" by Margaret Penrose is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This book follows two friends, Jessie Norwood and Amy Drew, as they engage with new technology and embark on a series of adventures in their suburban community, mainly revolving around the wonder of radio technology. The story introduces elements of mystery and friendship while exploring themes of courage and discovery. The opening of the book introduces Jessie and Amy, who are excited about the possibilities of radio technology that they have read about in a magazine. Their light-hearted discussion about building a radio set quickly shifts when they hear a mysterious voice calling for help nearby. The girls rush to investigate, leading them into a surprise encounter with a girl in distress and a pair of dubious women who appear to be forcing her into their car. This inciting incident sets the stage for Jessie and Amy's subsequent involvement in a mystery that intertwines their personal growth with a deeper, unfolding narrative about friendship and the challenges faced by those less fortunate than them.
