| Summary | "The Camp Fire Girls on the Edge of the Desert" by Margaret Vandercook is a novel written in the early 20th century. This engaging story follows a group of young girls, members of the Camp Fire organization, as they embark on an adventurous journey into the Arizona desert. Centered around Bettina Graham, a shy and introspective girl, the narrative explores her dynamic with other girls, including her spirited cousin Polly, as they confront the challenges and excitement of their new environment. The opening of the novel introduces Bettina as she enjoys a quiet moment by a campfire, immersed in her poetry. Her contemplative nature contrasts sharply with the more pragmatic personality of her cousin Polly, who finds Bettina’s dreamy tendencies amusing. During their walk home, Polly reveals that a relative has written with plans for their summer, hinting at upcoming adventures. The girls' interactions set the tone for their journey and highlight themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the excitement of venturing into new territories—a foreshadowing of their experiences in the wild desert that lies ahead.
