About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is stepping into their first leadership role or feeling the weight of newfound independence. Paula Danziger's classic story follows fourteen-year-old Marcy as she transitions from camper to counselor-in-training at an arts camp. It perfectly captures that awkward, exhilarating middle school phase where kids are expected to be responsible for others while still figuring out who they are themselves. The narrative addresses the complexities of group dynamics, the desire for romantic attention, and the realization that authority figures are human too. It is an ideal choice for pre-teens looking for a humorous, relatable guide to the responsibilities and social hurdles of growing up.
