Camp Bug Juice: A Bookworm's Camp Adventure

by Brittany Cuenin

Bea the Bookworm has never been to summer camp before! She is just a kid and leaving home for the first time and going off into the wilderness to live with all kinds of insects she doesn't even know. Bea wants to have fun at summer camp but she really just wanted to make sure that she makes it through the summer safe and sound.
No sooner then getting on her flight to camp does Bea meet the The Queen Bees and realizes that those girls are going to be big trouble all summer long. They think they own Camp Bug Juice and are better then everyone. Bea knows that she will prove them wrong, have some great adventures, and make a bunch of new friends in the process.
Going from her safe family home in the Sir Pender's Library to Camp Bug Juice in the middle of the wilderness, it is a big change for Bea and she hopes she will be a great camper. It seems like all the girls in Cabin Harmonia are really nice and maybe together they can get through it all.
With challenges like rock climbing, backpacking, river rescues, swimming, wilderness survival, and even campaigning for Camper of the Year hopefully Bea can make it to the fall!

Cute story with lots of clever bug references. Will be enjoyed by young readers, especially those who understand the sleep-away camp context. Enjoy!

I won my copy from Goodreads First Reads. It was a good story about a bookworm girl's first time at camp. The story was cute but a little too old for my 6-year old daughter. I will save the book for her to read in a few more years. The main character was very well written and there is some drama so I think she will enjoy the book. The only downside was that it could have used some more editing and proofreading.

First Reads book that I won. Great coming of age story that is perfect for young girls. Setting the book with "bugs" instead of real people helps give it that whimsical quality while still telling a story important for girls of all ages. Looking forward to hearing what my 10 year old thinks after she reads it. Thank you for the book!

A summer camp adventure with a difference, instead of insects coming to join YOUR summer camp, they go to one of their own!

Bea the Bookworm makes new friends, deals with 'We're better than you-like' Queen Bees and more on her very first time away from home.
