Camp Frenemies: Bunkmates for Never

Hardcover

Ages 8–12

What happens when you return to summer camp only to find that eveything has changed—including yourself? From a rising star cartoonist and bestselling author comes the second book in the Camp Frenemies series, perfect for fans of Guts and Real Friends.

It’s the last day of seventh grade and Beatrice is different than she’d been a year ago. True, she’s wearing mascara and doing her hair differently, but it’s more than that—she doesn’t seem to need her stuffed bunny, Roger, as much. And last year, he went everywhere with her. Everywhere.
    When Bea gets to camp and reunites with Virginia and Roxy, they can’t believe how much she’s changed—especially Virginia, who won’t let it go. Can’t a girl grow up a little?! As tensions rise, and friends become frenemies once more, Bea decides that maybe camp isn’t for her. After all, they are the oldest campers—and maybe they shouldn’t have even come back. Will they make up by the end of camp, or will frenemies become enemies?
    With a pitch-perfect voice and accessible cartoons, don’t miss this second installment in the Camp Frenemies graphic novel series from uber talented creator Liz Montague.

"An insightful, slice-of-life look at growing up while being true to oneself." —Kirkus Reviews
