Binding: Hardcover, 224 pages
Cherry Ames, nurse extraordinaire, has a variety of adventures in the books in this series. In this one, Cherry is a nurse at a girls’ summer camp, where she helps the girls get along, tends to a variety of nursing duties, and has a mystery to solve.
These old books are favorites from my childhood which have happily been re-released. While the writing is not of particular quality, the books have value as mysteries, variety in setting, and old fashioned nostalgia.
