So for boardwalk fun, for example, I could use a title that starts with B (first letter of the first word), K (last letter of the first word) or N (last letter of the last word)?

I’m in! This has given me some ideas for things to do this summer, although I actually just had to google “watch your six” because I’d never heard that phrase before! 😂

A Clue in the Stew by Connie Archer 8/08/2021

Great challenge work Genevieve!!

I have already a question. I started a few weeks ago a book (but am not really far into it) set around a murder in a summer camp 18 years prior to the actual events. The events of that summer camp are central to the plot and told in bits and pieces from various POV all through the book. Would that work for the field Summer Camp or is it too big a stretch?
The book in question is: W głębi lasu=The Woods by Harlan Coben
