A summer outside Harper’s comfort zone

Fifteen-year-old Harper expects a summer of shopping and poolside leisure, but her parents send her to camp after an alarming credit-card bill. There, her usual markers of popularity—expensive clothes and wedge sandals—do little to help her navigate camp’s social hierarchy. The setting puts Harper in an unfamiliar position as she tries to make friends, avoid trouble, and connect with Ethan, a longtime camper. The book’s central contrast is between the status Harper knows and the social world she must learn to navigate at camp, with money, friendship, and adapting to new surroundings shaping her summer.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens interested in summer-camp stories and camp social dynamics
  • Readers who enjoy young adult fiction about friendship and adjusting to unfamiliar settings
  • Fans of Jen Calonita’s Sleepaway Girls

Book overview

Summer has finally arrived and fifteen-year-old Harper McCallister intends to spend her days at the mall shopping or by the pool at her country club. But after receiving her latest heart-stopping credit card bill, Harper's parents makes other plans, and ship her off to camp.
Suddenly, the clueless yet ever-popular Harper is the new girl at the bottom of a social ladder she can't climb in wedge sandals and expensive clothes. She seems to be winning over super-cute camp "Lifer" Ethan, though, and if she can manage to make a few friends--and stay out of trouble--she just might find a whole new summer state of mind.
A fresh and funny summer-camp companion novel to Jen Calonita's hit Sleepaway Girls.
