What the Book Is About
11-year-old Maya isn’t looking forward to her first summer at sleepaway camp. She doesn’t like the heat or insects, and she’s scared of swimming. Things start looking up when Maya makes friends with Dani, but she’s not sure about bossy Yael.
When the kiddush cup and candlesticks the girls need to lead Shabbat services are stolen, Maya and Dani team up to solve the mystery. They’re no closer to finding the culprit when Dani is accused of the theft! Can Maya discover who sabotaged Shabbat before Dani is sent home? And can she pass the swim test in time to go on the camp sleepover at Snake Island?
This is a sweet story about the power of honesty, friendship, and teamwork.
