Our Review

This engaging family story follows sisters Kari and Ashley Baxter as they navigate the emotional landscape of preparing for science camp, capturing both the excitement and apprehension that comes with new adventures. Through vivid storytelling, young readers experience the sisters' journey from initial uncertainty to gradual preparation with their siblings' support. The narrative beautifully explores how children process different emotions about the same event, making it particularly valuable for kids facing their own first-time experiences. This summer camp adventure thoughtfully addresses the universal childhood themes of anticipation, family bonding, and personal growth.

What sets this children's story apart is its authentic portrayal of sibling dynamics and the way it validates both adventurous and cautious personalities within one family. The Baxter family's interactions model healthy communication and mutual support, showing how siblings can help each other face challenges. Children who enjoy realistic family stories will appreciate how the characters work through their fears and build confidence together. The book ultimately delivers a heartwarming message about courage and the rewards that come from stepping outside comfort zones with loved ones by your side.
