With June arriving with the flip of the calendar today, I decided to rally and do a post a day for the month of June of “six sensational” books on various themes, topics, situations, or characters. What better way to kick of the post Memorial Day unofficial start to summer than six sensational summer camp stories!
- Upstaged by Robin Easter: A new graphic novel out that celebrates theater camp but also the realistic side of friendships and crushes.
- The Firefly Summer by Morgan Matson: An adventurous middle grade about discovering the other side of a family that she didn’t know much about.
- Give Me a Sign by Anna Sortino: This YA romance featuring a Deaf character, cute lifeguards, and finding out who you are.
- Summer Vamp by Violet Chan Karim: Instead of culinary camp, she’s at vamp camp? Ooops. But turns out Maya’s enjoying herself enough to stay.
- You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron: A thriller of a story featuring all that’s the best about 80s slasher movies and the last “campers” of the summer season.
- Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol: The humorous memoir of Brosgol’s is made sweeter by some of the local connections to the area I live in.
What are some of your favorites?
