Overview
Camp Frontier promises families the “thrill” of living like 1890s pioneers. Gen will be thrilled if she survives the summer stuck in a cabin with her family and no modern amenities. But ever the savvy teen, Gen sneaks in a phone and starts texting about camp life. Turns out, there are some good points-like the cute boy who lives in the next clearing. But when her texts go viral as a blog and a TV crew arrives, Gen realizes she may have just ruined the best vacation she’s ever had.
Little House on the Prairie? Great book. Horrible idea for a family vacation.
Irresistible teen hook: Laura Ingalls Wilder meets Survivor. It’s a scenario made for laughs, and will be totally in synch with today’s blog-reading, reality-TV-viewing, text-sending teens.
A perfect first kiss...a frenemy...and no bug spray! All the ingredients for a satisfying summer read, whether at camp, the beach, or in a teen’s own backyard.
Fresh package: A redesign of this cover is both sophisticated and funny-sure to intrigue teen readers!
For readers growing out of the Little House books, the Camp Confidential series, and Lauren Myracle’s TTLY books. This is good, clean, tween girl fun.
Timed for summer reading!
This fast read is humorous and insightful, with realistic characters that are refreshingly well rounded.
A comic look at modern technology dependence....Bell sees technology as necessary and often helpful. Young teens are sure to concur.
The plot takes enough unpredictable turns to provoke engagement on multiple levels as Gen learns about nineteenth-century farm life, the wondrous adaptability of little brothers, the dangers of getting to know your food, and the sheer deliciousness of Diet Coke and Quiznos when you’ve eaten nothing but beans and corn for weeks.
Bell has tapped into emotions some of us have forgotten about, but definitely needed to be reminded of. Without a doubt, this was an entertaining, delightful, and most interesting story.
