This book was such an emotional rollercoaster. The main character, Vera was very human throughout this book. She made alot of good and bad choices. I liked that Vera never gave up and continued to find her way in camp. She made the best of a rough situation and became a better person for it. The title, Be Prepared is apt for this book. 5\5

I never went to sleep-away camp, but I was the weird kid who struggled to make friends, so I found Vera entirely relatable. Brosgol did a great job capturing those tween year emotions and experiences. And her illustrations really tied everything together. This is the first graphic novel I ever read, and I'm so glad I picked it up!
