Liz can't wait until her fellow Critter-Clubbers come to her family's lake house for the weekend, but the visit doesn't go anything like she planned. Marion gets cold swimming in the lake, Ellie is terrified to go into the woods in case she sees a snake, and Amy topples the canoe, dousing them all. Truth is, Liz is having a bad weekend. But after a heart-to-heart with her friends, Liz discovers that things don't have to go according to plan in order to be fun.
Poor Liz! I really felt for her as I read this book, and I could understand why she was sad and frustrated. It was nice to see that a little honesty and a lot of friendship helped all of the girls overcome their difficulties, though. Critter Club fans who are expecting some interaction with animals will not be disappointed either, even if the girls are away from their animal shelter in this one. Although this is the seventh in the series, it stands alone just fine.
