Description
Sixteen-year-old Lane Speer spends her family vacations camping in the mountains, taking the memories for granted until she loses her father to an unexpected bout with cancer. One year later, as Lane is still reeling from her father’s death, her mother remarries a guy who Lane hardly knows. To top it off, he’s a Mormon. Worst of all, while her mom and new stepdad are on their honeymoon, they arrange to have her stay with her Mormon step-aunt who takes her to a bible-themed girls camp with a bunch of Mormon girls. Confronted with memories of camping with her family, Lane tries to find peace with her new surroundings as she deals with the death of her father.
This should not have an “All Ages” rating. There is one use of the word “hell” and the 16 year old main character drinks champagne at her mother’s wedding party. There are also fart jokes. It’s a wonderful book and I think has many good things in it, and overall is suitable for tween and teen readers. But it does have things that would concern some parents.
