About This Book

Most kids dread summer camp, but what if you ended up at a sports camp meant for Olympic hopefuls—when you're more into science and books? That’s exactly the mess this nerdy girl faces, juggling early workouts, embarrassing moments, and a big family change. It’s not just about surviving camp; it’s about discovering strength in unexpected places.

Quick Assessment

This middle-grade fiction follows a girl mistakenly sent to a sports camp instead of science camp, where she struggles with physical challenges and her parents' divorce. Suitable for ages 9-12, the book explores themes of family change, resilience, and self-acceptance through relatable humor and emotional moments. Parents should note the story includes emotional content around family separation but is handled sensitively.
