About this item

The lovable worrywart returns in a funny, familiar tale of angst - and unexpected accomplishment - at summer camp.School’s out, and Beany does not want to go to Camp Onondaga. It doesn’t help that her bossy friend, Carol Ann, is going too - especially after she starts pressuring Beany to learn how to dive, just so they can win the Cabin of the Week Award. It’s all Beany can do not to cry into her bunk pillow, until she notices that her cabin mate Skye is even more miserable than she is, and that Skye doesn’t know how to swim at all. Once again, readers will laugh in recognition as Susan Wojciechowski’s Beany - "the girl everyone wants for a friend" (KIRKUS REVIEWS) - braves a buggy world of morning bugle calls, rowdy mess halls, and scary swim tests, while discovering the true meaning of camp spirit.
