Darling, Angela, Maddie’s Camp Crush. Simon Spotlight, 2013. Language: G, Violence: G, Sexual Content: PG
Like every other summer, Maddie
is going to Camp Wimoway, but things are different at home. Her dad passed away
and her life feels empty. She’s afraid people will look at her different. When
she meets a cute boy, her summer starts to look better. Complications that
arise with a new girl at camp, however, threaten to ruin things. Can Maddie get
over her father’s death and find a way to make her summer memorable?
A little more developed than most
of the Crush books, but still a hard book to get in to. The characters are
generic, but are easier to sympathize with. A thin plot at best, however, makes
this book way far down on the list for helping kids to deal with grief or
engaging readers in an early, preteen romance. Would not recommend for most
readers. NO. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr.
