So much love for this wonderful middle grade charmer.
I feel like it gets so many things right:
• believable, gradual development of Bett and Avery’s enemies to friends relationship
• Avery’s anxiety
• main characters who are quirky and complex with strong personalities without ever feeling over the top
• well drawn secondary characters
• oh so satisfying parent trap vibes and summer camp feels
• celebration of found family and the many beauties diversity brings to our relationships
Feel-good with depth. A new favourite. Also, SO good on audio, with a full cast of dynamite narrators.
