"The Camp Fire Girls on the Farm; Or, Bessie King's New Chum" by Jane L. Stewart is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two girls, Bessie King and Zara, who have recently become members of the Camp Fire Girls organization. As they transition from their tumultuous pasts into their new experiences, they prepare for a trip to a farm that promises excitement and growth, while also dealing with tension related to their troubled backgrounds, particularly involving the mysterious Farmer Weeks and the arrival of a dubious lawyer. At the start of the novel, Bessie and Zara find themselves in the comfortable home of Eleanor Mercer, the camp's Guardian, where they share their astonishment at the luxuries of the city compared to their previous lives. Their discussion reveals Zara's anxieties about her father and their escape from a cruel guardian, Farmer Weeks. Soon, the narrative shifts to the upcoming trip to the farm, where the girls hope to find a fresh start and more freedom. However, the shadow of their pasts looms large, hinting at possible dangers as they encounter characters tied to their previous lives, including unresolved conflicts with Farmer Weeks and the dubious ethical stance of a local lawyer. Throughout this opening, themes of friendship, resilience, and the contrast between city comforts and country simplicity are established, setting the stage for their upcoming adventures and challenges.
