Awesome Book For Anyone!

Review by Alma

I really liked this book because it’s a book about a girl named Sydney (obviously) who ends up switching summer camps with her best friend, Maggie. Maggie and Sydney are both really fun, great characters. Sydney is a tall girl with a mom who’s expecting a baby who doesn’t like public speaking at all and there’s Maggie, who’s average height with an older brother and loves to dance. There are lots of twists and turns, there were parts where I cringed, like one time you think that something happened, when really something else did (I’m trying not to give spoilers), but all in all I think anyone from age 8 to age 12, would find this book a great read.

Review by PurpleBird

Hey yall'! This was a great book filled with adventure. I was disapointed it didn't have any cowboys, but it did have tons of fun. It is about two people who decide to do the old hat shoe switcher-ooo. This means they went all out and traded places. I recommend this to everyone.
