From a rising star cartoonist and bestselling author comes a frenemies-to-friends graphic novel about the trials and tribulations of three preteen girls and cabinmates at sleepaway camp. Perfect for fans of Guts and Real Friends!

It's only one week of camp and then never again . . . right?

Beatrice, Roxy, and Virginia have conquered sixth grade, and now they’re ready for the next big milestone: their first week at sleepaway camp.

Beatrice isn’t happy about this. After all, she prefers stuffed animals over people. Roxy doesn’t think camp is so bad. Honestly, she’s just excited to get some peace and quiet—she hasn’t had enough of that at home lately. And Virginia is the most excited for camp out of everyone since ALL the middle school soccer girls are going . . . but then Virginia doesn’t make the soccer team.

Further complicating things is the fact that Virginia and Bea do not get along—which makes being cabinmates tricky. But between campfires and canoe rides, can these frenemies call a truce?
