This is her big chance to have a summer away from her family where no one knows how insecure she used to be. This could be the perfect summer, but will nosy, noisy, and difficult campers ruin it all? "Danziger's ability to create believable, funny dialogue and to capture the thoughts of a fourteen-year-old is highly evident.�Readers will be captivated by the natural flow and breezy style."� Booklist "Sure to be extremely popular." � School Library Journal "Written with vigor and humor." � The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
Marcy, the heroine of The Cat Ate My Gymsuit has been asked by her former teacher, Ms. Finney, to be a counselor at a creative-arts camp. It is a wonderful opportunity to be on her own and fourteen-year-old Marcy wants to try. It isn't easy being a counselor, nor is it easy growing up, having your first real interest in a boy. Marcy and the girls learn a bit about each other and there is plenty of humor to ease the angst in this coming-of-age story.
