Chums of the Camp Fire Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Chums of the Camp Fire" by Lawrence J. Leslie is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of four boys—Max, Steve, Toby, and Bandy-legs—who embark on various expeditions in search of fun and excitement during their Easter holidays. As they engage in activities like frog hunting and camping, they navigate both the serene joys of nature and the unexpected challenges that arise. At the start of the novel, the boys are excitedly out hunting frogs near Carson, aiming to collect enough for a feast. Each boy's character is introduced through their dialogue and actions, highlighting their camaraderie and individual quirks. The narrative describes their humorous banter and adventurous spirit, especially when Steve takes a tumble while trying to catch a large bullfrog. Moments of levity abound, such as when they reminisce about past escapades and react to the possibility of wild animals still being at large after a nearby circus's animals escape during a storm. This sets the stage for a tale filled with adventure, laughter, and the charm of boyhood friendships. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 73.8 (7th grade).
