Girls of the Morning-Glory Camp Fire

"Girls of the Morning-Glory Camp Fire" by Isabel Hornibrook is a story from the early 1900s that follows a group of young girls in the Morning-Glory Camp Fire, a group that encourages growth and helping others. Jessica Holley, named "Morning-Glory," is the heart of the group, showing kindness and leading her friends through good times and tough moments. The story starts in a busy city park as the girls talk about where their Camp Fire name came from and what they mean to each other. Jessica is very important to them and picked the name "Morning-Glory" to show beauty and dreams. Quickly, the story jumps to a crazy scene with a runaway piano cart where Sesooā, another Camp Fire Girl, bravely jumps in to save the day. This scene shows how important friendship, bravery, and helping the community are, and it gets the reader ready for all the adventures to come.
