12yo Quinn is so excited to get back to the normalcy of summer camp - with her Dad dying unexpectedly, this has been a tough year. She is excited to be bunkmates with her two best friends, but one of the new girls has a major chip on her shoulder and a bad attitude that starts spreading to others. Also, a very cute British boy has entered the picture - could Quinn like him and maybe he likes her too?
Heart and the new Spotlight Sprinkles series gives us a very early, mild introduction into first crushes. In this title the drama between different friends was more interesting than the crush part. I did like, however, that lightness - 12 year olds do not need to be thinking about long term romance!
