Lucy and her pack are back,
in this sequel to Beth Vrabel’s heartwarming and humorous debut, Pack
of Dorks. Sheldon convinces Lucy, Sam, April, and Amanda to join
him at a week long sleep-away summer camp—Camp Paleo: Live Like a Caveman. Like
cavemen, they’re going to have to make do without air conditioning or a heated
pool. They’ll learn archery and dig for fossils. And Grandma’s coming too;
she’s taking a job as lunch lady for the camp next door.
At the last minute, Sam backs out to go to a
gymnastics training camp instead. Lucy wonders why she misses him so much—it’s
not like he’s her boyfriend or anything. Why does the word “boyfriend” make her
blush, even when she’s only thinking it? She needs a distraction. Enter Mr.
Bosserman, the grouchy camp leader who won’t budge on the caveman aspect of the
camp. The old man needs some softening up, and Lucy knows just the person for
the job: Grandma.
One successful match made, Lucy starts to see
potential lovebirds everywhere. And setting up couples keeps her from facing
the question tickling the back of her mind: Is she in love with Sam? But when
the wrong campers fall for each other, the pack falls apart, all under the watchful
eye of a super secret blogger who’s been writing about the camp’s activities
Gossip Girl–style. Even worse? A thief is targeting everyone but Lucy, setting
her up to look guilty. Soon Lucy again finds herself alone, left to fix the
messes she’s made and face her own feelings. If she fails, the pack may be
splintered for good.
For readers aged 8 to 12, this is a funny but
poignant book about bullying, crushes, the harmful nature of rumors, and the
importance of friendship and telling the truth. A great book to read aloud in
the classroom for discussions or to simply read on a summer trip.

And here she is. . .

do with her life. Although her other plans—becoming a wolf biologist, a
Yellowstone National Park ranger, and a professional roller skater—didn’t come
to fruition, she stuck with the writing. She is the author of the Pack
of Dorks series and A Blind Guide to Stinkville and A Blind Guide to Normal (October 2016).
Beth lives with her wonderful husband, two charming children, a spoiled rotten
puppy, and two fat guinea pigs in Connecticut.
