Description
Told through a mix of traditional narrative and journal entries, Just Like Me is a funny, uplifting summer camp story about unlikely friendships and finding your place in the world from award -winning author Nancy J. Cavanaugh.
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks?! Avery and Becca, my "Chinese sisters," that's who. We're not really sisters- We were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we're nothing alike. They like egg rolls, and I like pizza.They wave around Chinese fans, and I pretend like I don't know them.
Which is not easy since we're all going to summer camp to "bond." (Thanks, Mom) To make everything worse, we have to journal about our time at camp so the adoption agency can do some kind of "where are they now" newsletter. I'll tell you where I am: at Camp Little Big Woods in a cabin with five other girls who aren't getting along, competing for a camp trophy and losing (badly), wondering how I got here...and where I belong.
