Two friends who have unhappily found themselves in an accidental relationship try to drive the other one to call things off in this tongue-in-cheek middle grade romance.
Childhood friends Eve and Andrew are destined to be together—everyone says so, especially their friends and classmates who are all suddenly crush-obsessed. So when Eve and Andrew's first eighth grade school dance rolls around and Eve, feeling the pressure, awkwardly asks Andrew to go with her, everyone assumes they are Officially Dating and Practically in Love. Overwhelmed, Eve and Andrew just…go with it.
And it's weird. Neither of them wants this dating thing to mess up their friendship, and they don't really see each other that way. But they also don't want to be the one to call things off, the one to make things super awkward. So they both—separately—pledge to be the worst boyfriend or girlfriend ever, leaving it to the other person to break up with them. It would be genius…if the other person weren't doing the exact same thing.
Finally, it’s summer! Stephanie—aka Slimey—has been counting the days until she can return to her favorite place in the entire world, Camp Rolling Hills. And this year she’s especially happy to be back—she’ll have eight blissful weeks away from home, where life has been decidedly rocky.
New kid Bobby, on the other hand, is pretty sure he’s in for the worst summer of his life. He does not understand his weirdo cabinmates, the group singing, and the unfortunate nicknames (including his: Smelly). But he does understand Slimey, and the two soon fall in crush. This summer might not be so bad after all!
But then a fight sets off an epic, campwide, girls-versus-boys prank war. Bunks are raided! Boxer shorts are stolen! Can Slimey and Smelly keep the peace—or will they get caught in the crossfire?
“Stacy Davidowitz gets the magic of camp and the wonder of being twelve just right. Camp Rolling Hills is both heartwarming and laugh-out-loud hilarious.”—Elissa Brent Weissman, author of Nerd Camp
A super-fun, paperback-original series that captures the unforgettable adventures of summer camp, complete
with crushes, pranks, and s'mores-launching with two books!
A hilarious and heartfelt series about the particular magic of summer camp—a place where reinvention is
possible and friends are like family—from a sparkling debut talent.
There's only one thing Melman loves more than soccer: her summers at Camp Rolling Hills. So she's pumped to
be back—until she realizes her bunkmates have gone totally boy-crazy over the school year and plastered their
cabin in pink. Pink posters, pink t-shirts...it seems that the only not-pink thing in the cabin is Melman herself.
That is, until she's given a dare in front of the entire camp: wear a pink princess dress. For Three. Whole. Days.
Steinberg's summer gets off to a rough start, too, when his robot (usually his area of expertise) blows up during
a camp-wide robotics contest. Steinberg might feel like a loser at home, but camp's supposed to be his place
to shine.
Steinberg without robots? Melman in pink? This whole summer feels turned upside down! To set things right,
Steinberg and Melman team up and hatch a fail-proof plan. The plan's secret ingredient? Hamburgers.
