Be Prepared

Descriere

A gripping and hilarious middle-grade summer camp memoir from the author of Anya's Ghost that tells a relatable story about navigating one's own culture, struggling to belong, and the value of true friendship. n nBeautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is such a good cartoonist I almost can't stand it. --Raina Telgemeier, author of Smile n nIn Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is fit in--but that's not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Vera's single mother can't afford that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price range--Russian summer camp. n nVera is sure she's found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the cool girl drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!n
