Another Super Special that mostly re-tread material from other Super Specials. Although, I did like the addition of Emily Michelle and Andrew this time around. It's a little sad though that I was enjoying Mallory's books a lot until she's suddenly become a pest in the past few (although I feel her about being a magnet for bugs).

This one wasn't bad. There wasn't too much "boy crazy" going on.
I did enjoy that this one focused a little on Watson and his childhood.
A good one to read during spring, when we are enjoying warmer weather and looking forward to making summer plans.

Read again september 14th 2016 during my holiday. I had never read this super special when I was younger and first read it last year I like it!

Ugh, I read this several months ago, but I don’t want to re-read it for the rating. Super specials are uniformly subpar and boring, and this one is solidly middle of that pack. Okay, so Watson’s aunt offers to give him her lake cottage (what is this, Ontario? Muskoka? People have cottages?) since she can’t get out there much anymore and she doesn’t want to see it go to waste. Watson brings the family, including Kristy’s nine million friends, to the cottage for a test run, and Kristy has everyone write up a journal so she can present to him just how much fun they all had. As usual, there are a few too many events, including a culminating dance at a nearby lodge (what?) and an overnight stay on a possibly haunted island with a mysterious past, the resolution of which is left for a future book which never, thankfully, happens. What is with the Super Specials and their unresolved ghost mysteries?
Milestones: Sam and Stacey seem to get together after Sam spends the whole trip mocking and annoying Stacey, only to confess his feelings in the end. They go to the dance together.
Timing: Summer.
Revised Timeline: Summer between eleventh and twelfth grades (ninth and tenth for Jessi and Mal).

I used to really like this book as a kid, because I used to spend chunks of my summer at the lake. We didn't have a fancy cabin, just tent camping, but still. I could sort of see the charm of a place like that, since the lake also vastly appealed to me. I still like to go there, but just to swim or maybe boat. Camping is no longer my thing. In a cabin that sleeps 25 though, it just might become a thing I'd do again.
The BSC sure have some good luck. I mean what are the odds that this cabin would have actual dorms with like six sets of bunk beds in each? Pretty good luck, girls. Pretty good.
Anyway, this book featured a couple of chapters from Karen Brewer, who I will forever hold a personal vendetta against. I'm not over it, and I never will be. I hate you.
