Having grown up going to Jewish summer camp, I found Phee's experiences at Chinese summer camp extremely relatable. It is her last summer as a camper, and Phee and the rest of her squad of friends are so excited about. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of new girls their year and they are separated. To add to the tension, many of the new girls are not happy about being at camp. While Phee and her friends are growing up in Chinese families, the new girls are transracial adoptees growing up in white families. This leads to a lot of tension between the girls. Through authentic conversations and several fun activities, they work out their differences and learn to appreciate each other's perspectives. This is a great summer story and would be especially fun to read while at sleep away camp! Recommended for grades 4 & up.
