Abby heads back to summer camp, hoping to spend time with her friend Rose. But Rose is now a cabin assistant, which means that Abby has to make new friends. She meets Shasta, a girl with lots of medical needs and claims to have been struck by lightning. Abby also finds a crush in Rose's cousin, Teal, who thinks Abby looks like an elf. But don't worry. It's a compliment. This graphic novel was engaging and entertaining, especially for those wanting to relive or just understand summer camps. For those wanting a practical application, the story is also interspersed with helpful tips and explanations, such as the rules for playing Egyptian Rat Screw and instructions for how to make a friendship bracelet. These tips offer different genres of writing within the already unique graphic novel, which would encourage different types of literacy in a reader. I would recommend the book to students entering high school. It references Dungeons and Dragons, and so it may be perfect for readers who have the same interests.
