Stuck by Kayla Miller
4.0

Although this is the eighth book in the Click series of stories about Olive and her friends, you don’t need to have read the other books to get into this story about summer camp, and what happens when friends fight, and then don’t want to make up.


And Olive is stuck in the middle. Thus the name of this story.


And no matter what Olive does, she can’t get her friends to stop fighting. The other problem is that one of her friends from school, Nat, has been sent to summer camp against her will. She doesn’t want to be there, and hates not being home, so have a bad attitude to begin with.


Like with all middle grade stories, friendships are a big part of the story, and in this case, Olive has to juggle all her friends to try to have a good time.


Cute story of friends finding that they really do want to have a good time, if they can just get over their hurt.


What I like about the Olive books, is that she is a bit of chameleon, and makes friends with the drama kids, as well as the science and art kids. In one of the earlier books, they ask her to pick, and she can’t.


For those who have been following the series, it is a good addition. For those who have never read these books, this would be a good one to pick up, because you don’t have to know who the people are to get the gist of the story.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This book is coming out the 6th of May 2025.
