In this fourth installment in the series, Zoe's off to camp. This isn't just any summer camp, though--it's Camp Courageous, "the premier camp for up-and-coming superheroes!" There are some surprises among the other campers, who include an old friend and a long-lost cousin. The kids' superpowers punch up this otherwise conventional summer camp story.

How can newly minted preteen superhero Zoe concentrate on passing her Superhero Federation exams when she's distracted by her brand-new supersuit? Zoe can get in trouble for using her superpowers without permission, but when she gets involved in her mother's environmental crusade, she might not have a choice. Humorous situations, exuberant narration, and comic-book-style illustrations rescue a fairly formulaic plot.
