Love and Pollywogs from Camp Calamity

(3) 4-6 Effie can't wait for her fourth-grade class's week-long trip to Camp Wickitawa--until she contracts "altitude sickness" (a.k.a. homesickness). Her anxiety diminishes as she makes friends, learns to swim, and gets in--then out of--trouble. As in her two previous books, Effie's concerns are realistic but lightly handled; the exclamation-studded, chatty narration adds humor.
