So, yes, I think that Vera Brosgol’s Be Prepared is the first book I’ve read about summer camp that really, really spoke to my personal experience, which was… NOT GREAT? And, like our protagonist, it was due to regular growing up stuff AND to a bad fit, personality- and interest-wise, not to Horrible Counselors or whatever.

I TOTALLY FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT CAMPING, FRIEND.Īhem. Oh, just look at those huge, magnified Tragic Eyes behind her glasses on the cover there.
