| Publisher Description: Nina wears two labels: boy crazy and camp drama star. But this summer things are different. First she finds herself interested in Emily's brother, Zac. But everyone knows that brothers are off-limits. Then instead of getting a lead in the camp musical, she gets a smaller part that normally goes to a boy Much to Nina's surprise, her summer is about shedding the old labels and discovering what she's capable of. With a theme of character growth and development, this book encourages discussion on how plot influences character development, making it a good choice for exercises in critical thinking. A glossary and discussion questions provide additional support. |
