Quinn, whose father passed away after a long illness, is still set to go to Camp Whispering Woods for six weeks in the summer, although her mother is still not coping well. She's excited to meet up with old friends Olivia, Emma, and Leah. Her cabin also includes Grace, who seems nice, and Kayla, who comes with a lot of luggage and actually gets up early in the morning to blow dry her hair and put on makeup. Their counselor, Jayden, makes sure that the girls are up in time in the morning and participate in standard camp activities like swim tests, hikes, and drinking "firefly juice" (aka "bug juice"). Camp food is pretty middling, and vegetarian Leah starts counting how many veggie burgers she's eaten, although she does start a campaign and gets the cook to also serve tofu tacos and macaroni and cheese. Quinn has several meetings with cute British boy Harry, and is always excited to see him or hang out after the campfire. Since the camp includes both boys and girls, there is a prank war going on that includes hanging a nightgown from the flag pole and covering the boys' toilet seats with petroleum jelly. There's some talk of Harry and Quinn dating, and a few hugs, but with camp being a very short amount of time, the romance is just a summer tween fling.
Strengths: Having gone to a Campfire Girls' camp, there was never the opportunity for this sort of romance, but it is very fun to think about. And Harry's British? Nice touch. All of the elements of a good camp story are here, with food, outdoor activities, stress over swimming levels, and counselors, but with the added incentive of meeting Harry during some activities. This must be a rather nice camp; I don't think the ones I went to would have had any electricity for blow dryers. Vicarious camp experiences, like vicarious travel, are always fun.
Weaknesses: This needed a lot more romance in it; lingering glances, touching hands, planning on staying in touch, etc. The book is short, which is great, but felt a little rushed. There was no reason to include a deceased father, although I was greatly amused by Quinn's assessment of her mother that "It sounds harsh, but I wish she would just get it together already." I feel that way often about characters, but know that I am not allowed to say that!
What I really think: This is a great choice for readers who love Nelson's WISH books, Darling's Crush books, or other light romances, as well as camp stories. I'm glad to see this Spotlight Sprinkles series, which also includes Meet Me at Sunset and Playing for Keeps. I will definitely purchase all of these!

(This could have had a bit more romance, though!)
