About This Book
Reach for this book when your daughter is navigating the shifting sands of middle school social hierarchies or feeling the sting of being 'left out' by a formerly close friend. In this installment of the Camp Lakeview series, the focus shifts to Natalie and the evolving dynamics of the bunk as summer progresses and competitive pressures rise. The story explores the complex emotions of jealousy and the quiet pain of feeling second-best when cabin mates start pairing off or chasing status. Parents will appreciate the realistic portrayal of how girls communicate (or fail to communicate) and the way the story validates the messy, often painful process of finding one's place in a group. It is a gentle but honest look at growing up and maintaining integrity when peer pressure starts to mount.
