Amy's uncle, Ed, owns a summer camp that her parents will be sending her too. Amy does not like this idea because she does not want to leave Charlie alone for a whole summer not knowing how her mom will treat him. She was also nervous about going to camp because she believed that no one would treat her nicely because all of the other girls have known each other for so long and Amy is going to be the new girl.
Well, Amy was right. The girls are not treating Amy nicely because she is different from them, especially Rory. Even Amy's cousin Robin sided with Rory. Rory and the other girls come up with a plan to humiliate Amy. In the middle of the night, they gather cabins 8 & 9 and go down to the lake. At the lake, Rory and the other girls throw her into the freezing cold water. While she is in the lake, Rory had arranged for some guys to come to the lake at that time to see her. She was so embarrassed.
Although Amy is having a terrible time, she continues to tell her parents the opposite because she doesn't want to disappoint them. Every night she hopes that Rory won't do something mean to her again. Will Rory pull another prank on Amy? Will Robin ever side with Amy not Rory? Will Amy make friends and end up enjoying camp? Read this book to find out!
I rate this book a 9/10
It sounds like this book has very realistic characters. Do you feel that way?
