About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels caught in the middle of a friendship feud or is struggling with the social pressures of a new group setting. MJ's Camp Crisis provides a relatable look at the tension that arises when two close friends don't get along, forcing a third person to play peacekeeper. It is a gentle, contemporary story that validates the anxiety of social navigation without being overly heavy. At just 96 pages, this chapter book is perfect for elementary readers (ages 8 to 11) who are preparing for their first summer camp experience or dealing with 'three-way friendship' dynamics. It models how to balance loyalty, practice teamwork, and use humor to diffuse stressful situations. Parents will appreciate how it normalizes the 'camp jitters' and provides a blueprint for making sincere apologies and reclaiming fun when things go wrong.
