A Campfire Girl's First Council Fire by Jane L. Stewart
"A Campfire Girl's First Council Fire" by Jane L. Stewart is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Bessie King, a young girl living under the harsh treatment of the Hoover family, who takes her in but makes her do all the household chores without compensation. In the opening chapters, Bessie grapples with her challenging life and the worsening situation when her friend Zara, who facesprejudice and potential abandonment, finds herself in danger due to the actions of a local bully. The beginning of the narrative establishes a somber tone as Bessie endures the scorn of Mrs. Hoover while longing for freedom and kindness, which she finds in the companionship of Zara. As the girls share their thoughts and fears, the introduction of the antagonistic Jake Hoover and sinister Farmer Weeks adds tension to the story. The plot thickens when Zara is captured by Weeks, prompting Bessie to take charge. The opening chapters set the stage for themes of friendship, resilience, and the fight for justice, hinting at the girls' journey toward empowerment and a better life as they seek to overcome their adversities.
