This is the only series with a girl main character. The first book in the series is set in Indiana Dunes National Park, with three more to be released in 2024.
Amy Friedl is a former teacher who left education to pursue writing and adventure after seeing how healing the outdoors could be for one's body and mind. Sitting on a roadside wall at Glacier National Park in 2021, she told her family, "Every little girl should know that she can get out there and make safe, strong choices in her own bold adventure." By 2023, Strong Girls Travel was an online energy, sharing stories of women conquering their brave, intimidating goals. After discovering Pennsylvania- Amy spent 18 months adventuring at 72 Wisconsin state parks, forests, and recreational areas to meet her own goals. As she hiked and kayaked, she changed and grew through the lessons that the world had to teach her. Those lessons reveal themselves through the Strong Girls Travel series as well, working to instill in girls a sense of confidence, boldness, conservation, and peace. Amy has also visited all but three national parks east of the Mississippi River and has plans to complete a book for each of those parks over the next few years.
