Summary

In "The Woodcraft Girls at Camp," Lillian Elizabeth Roy immerses readers in the enchanting world of camping and outdoor adventure, where young girls develop survival skills, forge friendships, and embrace the spirit of nature. Written during the early 20th century, the book employs a vivid and descriptive literary style, merging elements of realism and didacticism. Roy'Äôs work reflects the era's burgeoning interest in outdoor education and women'Äôs empowerment, showcasing characters who embody resilience, independence, and camaraderie as they navigate the challenges of camp life. Lillian Elizabeth Roy, an advocate for children's literature and an active participant in the woodcraft movement, drew from her experiences in nature and education to create this captivating narrative. Her background in the burgeoning Girl Scouts movement likely influenced her portrayal of girls as capable and adventurous pioneers, encouraging her young audience to appreciate the outdoors while promoting self-reliance and teamwork. Roy's commitment to fostering female agency in literature is evident throughout her work, positioning her as a key figure in early 20th-century children's writing. I highly recommend "The Woodcraft Girls at Camp" for readers who appreciate a blend of adventure and life lessons within the context of female empowerment. This heartwarming tale not only entertains but also serves as a valuable reflection on friendship and personal growth, making it an essential read for young girls aspiring to explore their capabilities in the wilderness.

    Margaret — The Pope's Cat — is back! Illustrated in full color.

Bang! Slam! Boom! Loud sounds in St. Peter's Square had been going on for nearly an hour already. Margaret was annoyed, because as you may know, cats like to sleep. A lot.


The apartment where Margaret lives with the Pope, ever since he adopted her off the streets of Rome, looks out onto St. Peter's Square. And the noises down there kept waking Margaret up.


She rolled over, covering her ears with her paws.


A few minutes later, the sounds began again, as more trucks arrived to unload even more chairs. Beep, beep, beep, beep went the trucks as they backed up to where men in yellow jackets were waiting to unload them. Then came Bang! Slam! Boom! all over again, as the men arranged the chairs in rows facing the portico of St. Peter's Basilica.


All of this was in preparation for a special event to take place the following day, Christmas.


____________


In this delightful new story from their lives, the Pope takes Margaret on a tour of St. Peter's. But when he's called away to work, Margaret gets lost in the world's largest church. She meets saints, children, tourists, and the artist Michelangelo's famous statue, The Pieta, before being reunited with the Pope as Midnight Mass is about to begin.
