"The Corner House Girls on Palm Island" by Grace Brooks Hill is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. This book is part of a series that follows the adventures of the Corner House girls, focusing primarily on Ruth, Agnes, Tess, and Dot. In this installment, the story revolves around their thrilling escapades on Palm Island, where they encounter both challenges and new friends in a lively and engaging narrative. The opening of the novel finds the Corner House girls on a nutting expedition in a chestnut grove, where they hear a mysterious noise prompting playful speculation about wolves. However, their antics are interrupted when they discover three lost children in the woods, urgently reporting that their father is injured and in need of help. This incident drives the plot forward, as the Kenway sisters and their friends rush to aid the Pendleton family, setting the stage for a series of unfolding adventures and challenges that will test their courage and resourcefulness as the narrative progresses.
