Laugh out loud at the true tween summer-holiday experience—awkward, DRAMATIC, and really fun! Packed with hilarious doodles and relatable cringe-worthy moments for readers aged 8–12.

Rubie can’t wait to go to summer camp for the very first time. She and her best friend, Riley, have planned the ultimate summer—an ENTIRE MONTH TOGETHER!
