Book preview

Camp Loon! Lorelei Rove shrieked in disbelief as she read the brochure her parents had given her. Is this some sort of sick joke? She re-read it, just to make sure she hadn’t imagined the whole thing. Lorelei sighed as she realized the brochure still advertised Camp Loon and all its dorky activities.
