Our quirky protagonist returns to cause more trouble in this book. Still being monitored by the feds, she heads off to be a counselor at an orchestra summer camp for six weeks. Secretly working with Rosemary the hotline receptionist to find missing children, while keeping up the facade that she’s lost her abilities. Somehow even at this distant private camp in the woods she winds up agreeing to help a man find his daughter. Inevitably trouble follows suit not just with the case but within the camp as well. Again there were several obvious typos causing me to drop a star. However the characters and plots are well written, light hearted mostly and goofy. The image of the 16 year old girl causing so much mayhem is hysterical.

A lot of other reviewers feel as though this one wasn’t as good as the first in the series and I feel the same.
I think it’s because we’re not given a reason to care. We’re waiting for action but 1) the pace is slow and 2) we weren’t promised action (I suppose it’s implied)
You can get through a quarter of the book and still wonder what the point is.

Still as good as I remember this!
Love Meg Cabot as a teenager and I still like her writing now.

It was definitely not 272 pgs. These books are short but very interesting to read.

Now that I'm older and reading this, I find myself angrier at some of the unfair things happening to Jessica. But I still love the series. I love how she'll defend her loved ones when they're being treated poorly, and how tough she is.

I really like the setting, I love a summer camp. But I really feel like Meg Cabot works hard to make sure her characters seem like good people. Like Jess says at one point she has to do her job… for the children. She’s 16, come on.
Also, I really forgot how much I was rooting for her and rob.
