Synopsis

In Margaret Widdemer's novel, 'Winona of the Camp Fire', readers are transported into a world of adventure and self-discovery as they follow the story of a young girl named Winona who embarks on a journey of friendship, courage, and resilience within the Camp Fire Girls organization. Widdemer's prose is rich in descriptive detail, painting a vivid picture of the natural surroundings and camp activities that Winona experiences. The book is a nostalgic nod to the early 20th century scouting movement, highlighting themes of empowerment and camaraderie among young girls in a time of social change and burgeoning independence. The narrative style is engaging and accessible, making it an enjoyable read for readers of all ages who appreciate a well-crafted tale of personal growth and community bonds. Margaret Widdemer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author known for her contributions to American literature, was inspired to write 'Winona of the Camp Fire' by her own love for nature and her belief in the importance of fostering leadership skills in young women. Her passion for storytelling and commitment to promoting positive values shine through in this heartwarming and uplifting novel. Widdemer's background as a poet and essayist adds depth and lyrical beauty to her prose, enhancing the emotional resonance of the story she tells. I highly recommend 'Winona of the Camp Fire' to readers looking for a captivating and inspiring tale that celebrates friendship, resilience, and the power of community. Margaret Widdemer's novel is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with modern audiences, offering a glimpse into a bygone era while delivering universal themes of personal growth and female empowerment.

So when Nita meets the wizard S’reee, she is bound to promise help. Nita is needed to face the Lone Power, who is threatening life in the oceans. But although S’reee is a wizard, she is also a whale. Nita will need to shapeshift into a sea creature to join her. And when Nita learns that the final confrontation will take place 16,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, she begins to get uneasy. Explaining day-long absences to her curious parents will be tricky, too. Diane Duane’s Wizardry books are marvelous combinations of fantasy, fast-paced adventure, and realism.
