@willaful posted about this book a few weeks back, reminding me of a childhood favorite—so I pulled it off the shelf & thoroughly enjoyed a re-read. I LOVED Jean Little‘s books as a kid. I found her characters so relatable. This one is told from the perspective of Martha, whose personality is far more brave & bold than mine! But I still love this book and these characters so much. Martha‘s broken arm prevents her from going to a much-anticipated⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …week at summer camp, so she and her sister beg to stay by themselves with out-of-town guests—sisters Rosemary and Kit—at her family‘s cottage at the coast, not far from where their families are staying at the “house in town.” Differences between the girls soon dash Martha‘s hopes of an idyllic “summer camp” of her own, but the story explores how all four very different girls learn from each other and bond through their time together. 2mo

Martha is devastated when a broken arm means no summer camp for her. Instead, she and her sister are stuck with two obnoxious visitors. But Martha decides to create Camp Better Than Nothing, and makes it an unexpectedly wonderful summer for everyone. I love fierce Martha, who read all the same books I read. 😁
