Jenna Bloom swore she'd behave herself this summer. She knows that one more practical joke and even her friends won't be so friendly anymore. But when she's sidelined from the color war by an unexpected injury, will Jenna revert to her mischievous ways? Could the ultimate prank be, ultimately, way too tempting?

Probably my least favorite in the series because I just don't relate to Jenna's character, though I Camp Confidential books are still my silly guilty pleasure for stress-free easy reading, perfect for before bed. I pretend I'm reading them just to be familiar with what my students are reading, but of course, I'm hooked. I think they help make up for my regret over never attending summer camp as a kid. :)
Jenna Bloom-- the Queen of Pranks, had promised to be on her best behavior at camp, but things take turn when she suffers a fracture which would prevent her from participating in her favorite activity at camp -- Sports! And to make matters worse, somebody who's not Jenna starts pulling pranks on all the other campers, and everyone at camps thinks the Queen of Pranks is at it again!
I enjoyed this book, it has an engaging narrative that kept me turning the pages. The book explored themes of friendship and perseverance.
I'll recommend this book to kids and adults who love middle grade fiction, as well as librarians or teachers looking for books that talks about friendship, camp adventures, or an addition to a summer reading list.
(LL) This book didn’t feel as rushed as the previous one, but it still wasn’t great. There’s another rich character with and extravagant lifestyle 90% of the target audience couldn’t relate to at all. It was annoying that Morgan had the girls be so nasty to Jenna. It was aggressive how much they didn’t trust her; it didn’t help with the drama of the story, as I found myself skimming a lot of the over dramatized scenes where Jenna gets blamed for the pranks. It’s also another case of Morgan recycling one of her storylines in which one of the girls gets injured and can’t play to prove themselves to everyone.
This was a GREAT book.All of friends thought she was pranking everyone at camp,but i wasn't it was the new boy, Blake.All of her friends didn't talk to her for a couple of days but eventually figured out on the last day of camp.She also broke her leg and couldn't play in color war.Whoever is planning on reading this book you will enjoy it.
I learned that u can still compete even if u have a broken bone. Jenna was frustrated @ 1st but then she learned that she could basically play sports by teaching her friends how to play and she had fun. There was even a Color War sport that she could compete in-the pie eating contest.
I don't know if I would have liked this book better if I had started at the beginning of the series or not. Although, it did make me wish I'd gone to a traditional camp when I was younger. Color War sounded like a lot of fun.
