"The Radio Girls at Forest Lodge; or, The Strange Hut in the Swamp" by Margaret Penrose is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young girls, particularly focusing on Jessie Norwood and her friends, as they embark on a summer trip to Forest Lodge, where they anticipate fun and excitement amidst the backdrop of a radio-themed adventure. This book is intended for a juvenile audience, showcasing themes of friendship, mystery, and exploration. At the start of the story, Jessie and her companions, Amy and Burd, discuss a potential trip to Forest Lodge, a place owned by Burd's Aunt Emma. Their conversation takes a turn when they encounter a mysterious girl who requests a change for a five-dollar bill, which Jessie and Amy later suspect to be counterfeit. This incident sets off a curious chain of events as the girls prepare for their trip, leading to a mix of personal adventures and the unfolding of a deeper mystery connecting the strange girl to the counterfeit bill.
