Hey there, book clan!
I told you I’d be doing the Summer book list and I meant it. Every year I put out a list: Young Adult, Fiction, and Non-Fiction. I enjoy the search to find books for summer reading. Youo never know what adventure is waiting for and I alway manage to add a couple to my TBR.
Summer is a great time for fun and travel. An amazing trip can give you that but so can a great book. I know that’s where I take most of my vacations. LOL. I’m excited about this one. I love Young Adult. This list contains new, old, and all around great reads. I wanted to give a range of different themes and genres so, here you go. I hope you find one you’ll to your summer reading.

It’s off to summer camp! Two girls, once campers, are excited to go back to camp as counselors, but when they’re reminded of something bad they’d done in the past that could ruin their future, they must figure out who’s behind it before it’s too late.
