Project Gutenberg 2004-11-26 Public domain in the USA. 181 Benson, Irene Elliott Ethel Hollister's Second Summer as a Campfire Girl Produced by Audrey Longhurst, Mary Meehan, and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Ethel Hollister's Second Summer as a Campfire Girl" by Irene Elliott Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Ethel Hollister as she navigates her transition from a sheltered life into one filled with personal growth and self-discovery through her experiences as a Campfire Girl. Central to Ethel's journey are themes of character development, friendship, social expectations, and the contrasts between wealth and humility, with her relationships deepening, especially with her mother and friends. The beginning of the novel introduces Ethel's background, outlining her privileged but somewhat troubled upbringing in New York. The narrative sets the stage with her overambitious mother, who is more concerned about social standing than genuine happiness, and Ethel's eventual invitation to engage in a summer with her Aunt Susan in Akron. There, Ethel's character begins to evolve through her interactions with other Campfire Girls and their camaraderie. As Ethel encounters challenges and reveals the secrets and struggles of her peers, including Mattie Hastings, the story hints at significant themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the awakening of Ethel’s true values in the face of societal norms.
