Another graphic novel for teen girls. There are some abrupt changes in time/place between certain pages, but not so abrupt that the story is too difficult to follow. ( )

This book is cute. I think the ending was a lkttle disappointing. All in all a cute young adult book. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this magical-realism suspenseful summer camp story. I especially enjoyed the fact that it focused on a young girl's point of view of peer pressure and friendship dynamics, which is generally underrepresented in kid's adventure comics. Having grown up a boy, it's fun getting insight into how young women interact with each other. The book's exploration of peer pressure and group friendship dynamics is excellent and thought provoking, probably even more so for teenage readers who are actively experiencing them. Larson's strong black brushwork is very good, looking at her drawings is a big pleasure.

I also enjoyed that it's set in my home state of North Carolina in the excellent town of Asheville. ( )

Did not care for this one. I felt it was hard to follow - the characters just seemed nasty for the sake of being nasty. Not a fan at all. ( )

When Abby returns to the same summer camp she always goes to, she is dismayed to find that her old friends have changed, and the only person who wants to be her friend is the strange new girl, Shasta.
Those who are done with the babysitters club graphic novels might be interested in this story ( )
