Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Funny Middle Grade Frontier Camp Book Perfect for Summer Reading @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
July 8, 2022 - Little Blog on the Prairie!! Were you obsessed with Little House on the Prairie as a kid? Or maybe you wish you could live in a “simpler” time? That’s what Genevieve's mom thinks, so she packs her family up and sends them all to Frontier Camp! If you are looking for a funny (and sassy) summer read, then this is it! I adored this middle grade/YA camp story and know you will too! You know what else is great! After I read the first chapter, I get to interview the author, Cathleen Davitt Bell, and you get to listen in!
Book Blurb: Gen's family is more comfortable spending time apart than together. Then Gen's mom signs them up for Camp Frontier―a vacation that promises the "thrill" of living like 1890s pioneers. Forced to give up all of her modern possessions, Gen nevertheless manages to email her friends back home about life at "Little Hell on the Prairie," as she's renamed the camp. It turns out frontier life isn't without its good points―like the cute boy who lives in the next clearing. And when her friends turn her emails into a blog, Gen is happily surprised by the fanbase that springs up. But just when it seems Gen and family might pull through the summer, disaster strikes as a TV crew descends on the camp, intent on discovering the girl behind the nationwide blogging sensation―and perhaps ruining the best vacation Gen has ever had.
