"I hate camp. I just hate it. I wish I didn't. But I do. Being here is worse than bug juice on a burger. Or homework on Thanksgiving. Or water seeping into my shoes." In this sequel to Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie, Eleanor is off to summer camp. At first she's excited, but when she gets there she finds bugs, no electricity, and terrible food. And worst of all: swimming class, where she can't seem to keep up with the other campers. But as the days go on, Eleanor realises that maybe being at camp isn't so bad after all and is full of special surprises.
