About This Book

A young girl and her close friend spend a summer at a hilltop hotel, exploring nearby woods and peaks and delighting in playful pastimes such as teasing an echo. The episodic narrative follows their outdoor adventures and social events—picnics, a mountain party, a fair, visits, and a serenade—while introducing other children whose mischief and kindness lead to small lessons and reconciliations. Scenes emphasize outdoor discovery, childhood imagination, and the warm bonds of friendship against a scenic mountain backdrop.
