Quick Summary
At a summer camp where everyone is trying to shrink, two girls discover that friendship and self-acceptance matter more than any number on a scale. The sharp humor, the unlikely friendship between two completely opposite girls, and the satisfying revenge against the mean girl who underestimates them make this a total page-turner. If your kid likes the camp drama and friendship dynamics of "The Great Twisted" or the witty middle grade friendships in "The Dork Diaries," they'll totally devour this. Perfect for kids in grades 5-8 who love contemporary stories with humor, heart, and a whole lot of sass.
