"Vacations from Hell," edited by Sarah Mlynowski, is a collection of short stories that explores the chaotic and often humorous mishaps that occur during summer vacations. Each story features a different teenage character whose getaway takes an unexpected turn, leading to wild adventures, unexpected challenges, and valuable life lessons. From a disastrous trip to a tropical paradise to a camping excursion gone awry, these tales highlight themes of friendship, romance, and personal growth. With a blend of humor and relatable moments, readers will be entertained by the ups and downs of vacation experiences that are far from picture-perfect.
