"The Moving Picture Girls Snowbound" by Laura Lee Hope is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This book is part of a series that follows the DeVere family, particularly sisters Ruth and Alice, as they navigate their challenges in the world of moving pictures, or films. The story centers around their father, a veteran actor, and the difficulties the family faces as they attempt to find stability while dealing with an ominous debt and unexpected hurdles, including a storm that wishes to snow them in. The opening of the novel introduces the DeVere family as they worry about the delayed return of their father from the moving picture studio, hinting at underlying tensions and troubles that will evolve throughout the story. The girls, especially Alice, express youthful exuberance contrasted with Ruth’s more serious demeanor, and the stage is set for a forthcoming journey. Upon the father's return, the anxiety surrounding Dan Merley, a man who claims he is owed money, escalates, replacing their initial excitement with concern for their family's reputation and financial stability. As they prepare for a new adventure, a blizzard looms, leading to an unexpected breakdown of the sleds on their way to Elk Lodge, kicking off a mix of adventure, comedy, and family dynamics against the backdrop of the winter landscape.
