Gregor Maravilla is determined to excel at Camp Save the World. Through his campaign to fight childhood hunger, he hopes to leave the camp a better activist. Unfortunately, the camp doesn't live up to its altruistic promise, and all bets are off when "The Prize" is announced. Though Gregor's moral dilemma is interesting, the humor and satire can feel forced.

Unreliably narrated in the first-person by Samantha Baker, this is the "true" account of how she and her fellow-fangirl friends came to accidentally kidnap Rupert P., a member of famous boy band The Ruperts. A hysterical dark comedy filled with tons of pop-culture references and a nod to fanfiction--today's teens will have a lot of fun with this one.
