And the Winner Is... by Melissa J. Morgan is a middle-grade contemporary fiction novel that explores friendship, jealousy, misunderstandings, and the challenges of maintaining close relationships. As the eighteenth installment in the Camp Confidential series, the book follows Natalie as she travels to Los Angeles after her father receives an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. What should be an exciting experience becomes complicated when friendship tensions and conflicting feelings threaten to spoil the occasion.

Through a story that combines celebrity glamour with familiar social challenges, Morgan examines how insecurity and jealousy can affect friendships. The novel is particularly suited to young readers who enjoy stories about friendship, growing up, and navigating complicated relationships.

This book was all over the place. It was way too dramatic, sometimes kid’s books need to be dramatic to get their attention, but this was overkill. Simple miscommunications end friendships in this series, which is preposterous. If a friendship is so fragile you can’t take one small disagreement/fight there are other issues y’all need to work out.
Also, Tori and Brynn had the same issue with their boyfriends...in the same story. How boring.

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down! This book is about a girl named Natalie and she is visting her father who lives in Califoria. Her friend Tori lives there too, and she almost never gets to see Tori. So Tori and Natalie plan to spend lots of time together. Then Natalie meets a guy named Reed, and gets distracted. The Grammies are coming up soon, and now since Tori and Natalie are in a fight, Natalie doesn't want to go with Tori, and Tori doesn't want to go with Natalie!

8th grade
Tori's still dating Michael, although Kallista, her BFF from seventh grade, is nowhere to be seen.
Natalie hangs out with Reed, Michael's friend, when she was supposed to be in 90210 to hang out with Tori.
Nat's dad is nominated for an award.
Brynn doesn't have a lot of time for Jordan because she has a community theater production with professional actors. they decide to take a break and try the boyfriend-girlfriend thing when they go back to camp.
