Outdoor Girls at Wild Rose Lodge by Laura Lee Hope is a delightful story about a group of young women who embark on a summer adventure at a remote lodge in the wilderness. The characters are well-developed and likable, each bringing their own unique personality to the group dynamic.
The author does a wonderful job of setting the scene, describing the beautiful landscapes and vividly bringing the lodge to life. The sense of adventure and camaraderie among the girls is palpable, making the reader feel like they are right there with them as they navigate various challenges and obstacles.
I particularly enjoyed how each character had their own individual strengths and weaknesses, and how they worked together as a team to overcome any difficulties that came their way. The plot was engaging and kept me hooked from beginning to end, with plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting.
Overall, Outdoor Girls at Wild Rose Lodge is a charming and heartwarming story that will appeal to readers of all ages. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and uplifting read.
Book Description:
In this 11th book in the "Outdoor Girls" series, the girls have some very exciting experiences. An old man, Professor Dempsey, by name, who had retired to a little log cabin in the woods to recover his health, had chanced to do the girls a very great favor. Of course the girls were grateful to him and were very much interested when he told them of his two sons who were in the war. Later, when the girls read of the death of his two sons in the paper, they went to the old man's lonely cabin in the woods, but found themselves too late. According to a friendly neighbor, the old man had become temporarily insane at the terrible news, had wrecked his cabin in an insane frenzy, and disappeared.
Later, at Wild Rose Lodge, the girls were frightened several times by a strange apparition lurking in the woods around the lodge and Moonlight Falls, a beautiful fall of water not far from the cottage where the girls were staying. The boys came home from France and helped the girls solve the mystery.
