Join eleven year old Chloe McCorkle on her trip to summer Camp Minnehaha in this action-packed, laugh-out-loud book perfect for middle schoolers and kids ages 9 to 12.

Someone once told me that money can't buy a girl happiness. Well, they obviously never had to ride a baby bike to the first day of middle school.

There is no way eleven-year old Chloe is going into the sixth grade riding her old pink bicycle! But before she can earn money for a new bike, she's shipped off to career camp.

She decides to make the best of it: she'll learn cake decorating and earn money when she gets home, frosting cupcakes at a local shop. But nothing goes according to plan. Between fighting off a rampaging goat named King Arthur, a spider that just won't die, and a prima donna bunkmate named Victoria Radamoskovich, there's no time left for Chloe to learn cake decorating.

When the last day of camp comes, will Chloe be ready to cupcake-decorate her way to a new bike? Or does everything really have to go to plan?

      Gr 4-6-Souder's third book brings fun and laughter to middle grade readers. In this adventure, Chloe is sent away to sleepover camp for two weeks while her parents are on a cruise. She dreads the idea of going to camp. Once there, Chloe gets into all kinds of high jinks. For example, on arrival, she is attacked by a goat named King Arthur, has a food fight with her arch nemesis Victoria, and attempts to put Director Mudwimple's underwear up the flagpole. Each time Chloe is caught doing something mischievous, she gets a demerit. Worst of all, her school crush is at camp and she keeps embarrassing herself in front of him. Tweens will relate to Chloe's angsty journal entries and her friendship with Pogo, and laugh at all the silly situations she finds herself in. A quick and easy summer read with likable characters. VERDICT An entertaining and lighthearted choice perfect for summer readers looking for breezy titles to take to the beach (or summer camp).-Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NY
