Camp Hardback
by Elaine Wolf
Hardback
Description
Every secret has a price. For most girls, sleepaway camp is great fun. But for Amy Becker, it's a nightmare. Amy, whose home life is in turmoil, is sent to Camp Takawanda for Girls for the first time as a teenager.
Although Amy swears she hates her German-immigrant mother, who is unduly harsh with Amy's autistic younger brother, Amy is less than thrilled about going to camp.
At Takawanda she is subjected to a humiliating "initiation" and relentless bullying by the ringleader of the senior campers.
As she struggles to stop the mean girls from tormenting her, Amy becomes more confident.
Then a cousin reveals dark secrets about Amy's mother's past, which sets in motion a tragic event that changes Amy and her family forever. Camp is a compelling coming-of-age novel about bullying, mothers and daughters, and the collateral damage of family secrets.
It will resonate with a wide teenage readership. Camp will be a strong addition to school recommended reading and summer reading lists, and it is appropriate for anti-bullying programs.
Mostly, though, Camp is a mother-daughter story for mothers and daughters to share.
