In *Campfire Girls at Twin Lakes; Or, The Quest of a Summer Vacation* by Stella M. Francis, a group of students from Hiawatha Institute gathers at Twin Lakes for a summer vacation hosted by Hazel Edwards. The peaceful camp life of the Flamingo Fire is soon disrupted by a serious concern: Mrs. Hutchins, a wealthy trustee, suspects that her ward, Glen Irving, is being mistreated by his guardians, the Grahams. To investigate without raising immediate suspicion, the girls hire lawyer Pierce Langford, who instructs them to pose as friendly spies while secretly monitoring the Grahams' treatment of the boy. The narrative follows the girls as they navigate their camp duties, decode secret messages, and plan their surveillance. They discover that Mrs. Graham is indeed neglectful and cruel, keeping Glen tied to a chair and striking him with a strap. Led by Katherine Crane and Hazel Edwards, the girls witness this abuse firsthand. With Langford's help, they intervene to save the boy. The story culminates in the girls securing a warrant for Mrs. Graham's arrest for cruelty to a child. Mrs. Hutchins arrives to take custody of Glen, ensuring his safety. The book concludes with the girls returning home, having successfully defended a child and proven their worth as brave and resourceful investigators.
