What’s it about?
The story.
Olive is excited to go to summer camp with her friend Willow, but camp does not go quite the way either of them expects. Olive wants to try activities, meet new people and enjoy the independence of being away from home. Willow, however, wants Olive mostly to herself, and her homesickness and jealousy begin to make things difficult. As camp life fills with cabins, crafts, games and new friendships, Olive has to work out how to be kind to Willow without giving up her own experience. This second Click graphic novel is a warm, accessible story about friendship boundaries, independence and the emotional wobble of being away from home. The setting gives the book a cosy adventure feel without real danger, and the graphic format keeps the story highly approachable for reluctant readers. Strong for children facing camp, trips, sleepovers or changing friendship needs.
