WOW OKAY.
so I got a copy of this book as a hand me down when I was probably like 8 or 9 and read it religiously as a kid throughout my childhood. somewhere along the way I lost my copy. last week while rewatching Wet Hot American Summer I remembered this book and a friend on Facebook found the title and I immediately bought a used copy on thrift books.
I AM EXTREMELY GLAD I DID.
this book should be up there with classics like “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” and “Harriet the Spy” because holy crap, this is the most relatable book I’ve ever read about kids. I see why I revisited it over and over as a kid. every single character is well written and makes perfect sense and leaps off the page, you’ve absolutely known every one of these girls throughout your life. I didn’t expect this book to make me feel so many things and I definitely didn’t expect to cry at the end of a book about an 11 year old going to summer camp for the first time but like HERE WE ARE.
anyways if you were ever an 11 year old going through puberty and wanted desperately to be liked: read this book.
if you have any kids or know of any kids who are around that age: buy them this book.
this is a forgotten classic, I absolutely adore it. this book deserves way more praise. I’m never gonna shut up about this book now.
