The idyllic 50s have ended, and the world outside the boys' camp is
smack in the middle of the turbulent 60s, and so is Molly.
Thirteen-year-old Molly is a small-town girl living with her family at an
Adirondack summer camp for boys. She is most comfortable in old clothes,
and creek sneaks, her hair in a ponytail.
With a love of nature and an adventurous, creative spirit, Molly's big plans
for the summer are hiking, swimming, and making art.
Enter Pam, Chief's granddaughter, and Molly's best summer friend.
Pam is fifteen going on twenty. She's from the big city, and this year she is
sporting a groovy new hairstyle right out of the teen magazines. Her
summer goals are working on her tan and finding a boyfriend.
This will be a pivotal summer for Molly as she must navigate
the tricky waters of this mismatched friendship. She will have to decide
when to follow her friend's lead and when to trust her own voice.
If teenage years didn't already have enough drama, throw in panther
stalking the camp, a thrilling cave rescue, a close encounter with bears,
and best of all, a first boyfriend
A reader remarked: It's a book every preteen girl should read. It
touches on so many important themes: friendship, crushes, love, betrayal,
divorce, domestic abuse, and navigating those challenges. (The abuse
only garners a mention after the fact; nothing graphic).
All that within the setting of the beautiful Adirondack Mountains!
Any mom would feel comfortable giving this book to her daughter to
read, and the daughter would find it exciting and engrossing!
I wish every young girl had such a tender first experience with a boy.
