Can the most ordinary girl in the world fit in at Camp Famous? Abby is about to find out in this exciting new read from author Jennifer Blecher!
11- year-old Abby Herman has always struggled to find her place. She’s great at observing what all the other kids are up to, but not-so-great at understanding how to fit in herself. She always seems to be on the sidelines, feeling left behind by her classmates who have all found where they belong. All she’s ever wanted is a best friend, and this summer, it seems like she might finally have her chance to find one!
After an upsetting cartwheel incident at school and a mysterious meeting with her teacher, Abby’s parents have finally agreed to do something she’s been begging them to do for years – let her go to sleepaway camp. With a packed duffel bag and her journal by her side, Abby is eager but nervous to board the plane and start her summer. But what she doesn’t know is that her parents are sending her to Camp Famous – an elite destination exclusively for famous kids trying to escape the spotlight, and her life will never be the same.
“Camp Famous expertly blends the joys of summer camp with the struggles of not fitting in. It’s a fun and uplifting read!”—Janae Marks, author of From the Desk of Zoe Washington
“Like the best camp friends, this heartfelt story will stay with you for a long time.”—Stacy McAnulty, author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl
The Princess Diaries meets Harriet the Spy when Abby—the most ordinary girl in the world—finds herself undercover at a summer camp for famous kids. From acclaimed author Jennifer Blecher, Camp Famous is an accessible and fun summertime adventure about fitting in, being brave, and letting others see who you truly are. Camp Famous is pitch-perfect for anyone who loves Disney’s Camp Rock.
Eleven-year-old Abby Herman is beyond excited that her parents are letting her go to summer camp for the first time ever. Maybe camp will be the place she’ll finally find what she’s always wanted: a best friend. But—surprise!—she’s not going to just any summer camp, she’s going to Camp Famous, the one exclusively for famous kids escaping the spotlight.
Desperate to fit in with the pop stars, princesses, and geniuses, Abby creates a fake identity as a famous author. Everything goes as planned: the other girls welcome her, she participates in camp activities, and she even inspires a pop star! But as camp comes to a close, Abby finds herself torn between who she has pretended to be and who she truly is.
