"The Campfire Girls on Station Island; Or, The Wireless from the Steam Yacht" by Margaret Penrose is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of girls, including Jessie Norwood and her friends, as they embark on summer adventures filled with excitement and mystery, particularly revolving around a young girl named Henrietta Haney and her claims to a wealthy inheritance and an island. The opening sets the stage for their dynamic relationships and the beginning of their journey to Station Island. At the start of the narrative, we meet Jessie Norwood, who is excited about the success of a fund-raising radio concert. She interacts with her friends, Amy and Nell, discussing their summer plans when they are interrupted by the boisterous arrival of Henrietta, who claims to have inherited an island filled with riches. Intrigued by her story, Jessie and her friends are drawn into the unfolding adventure as they navigate the perils and fun of their youthful escapades. The opening chapters primarily establish the characters, their relationships, and the context of their upcoming adventures, hinting at both comedic and mysterious elements to follow as they explore the potential for treasure and the excitement of summer.
