Quotes

“Calonita keeps the narration bubbly and pitched just right for her pre- and early-teen audience, with plenty of comedy and a gentle message about superficiality. She makes Harper the butt of the jokes but always shows the girl’s sympathetic side so that readers can laugh with her rather than at her.” Kirkus Reviews

“The perfect summertime read! It's sweet, funny, and made me want to head to camp immediately.” Katie Finn, author of the Top 8 series and Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend
