Camp Frenemies

Ages 8 to 12, Grades 3 to 7

A frenemies-to-friends graphic novel about the trials and tribulations of three twelve-year-old girls and cabinmates at sleepaway camp. Perfect for fans of Guts and Real Friends!

Beatrice, Roxy, and Virginia are fresh out of 6th grade and ready to conquer a new milestone: their first week at sleepaway camp. 

Beatrice would rather be in the company of her stuffed animals than people, something her parents hope camp will help with.

Roxy, fresh from the news of her parent’s divorce, feels like she’s being sent away while they sort out logistics. Further complicating matters is the fact that Bea and Roxy do not get along.

Virginia wanted to go to camp, all the middle school soccer girls go, but that was before she found out she didn’t make her middle school soccer team.

As the kids navigate their first big feelings -- crushes, betrayals, ambition, family drama, and more -- during this tender and sensitive transition time of their childhood, they ultimately discover it is friendship that helps them through the trials of growing up.

With a pitch-perfect voice and accessible cartoons, don't miss the next big middle grade graphic novel from uber talented creator Liz Montague.
