What’s it about?

The story.

Olive hopes for a relaxing two weeks back at Camp Acorn Lake, but things become complicated when two of her friends stop speaking to each other. Olive wants everyone to get along, and it is tempting to step into the middle, fix the conflict and make camp feel fun again. But the more she tries to manage everyone's feelings, the more stuck she becomes. Meanwhile, storm clouds are gathering both in the sky and in her friend group. This seventh Click graphic novel returns to the summer-camp setting with a slightly more mature friendship problem: what do you do when people you care about are in conflict, but the solution is not yours to control? Kayla Miller keeps the story colourful, accessible and emotionally safe, while giving readers a genuinely useful message about boundaries, friendship responsibility and letting others own their feelings.

Why kids love it

The specific recognition is being caught between friends who aren't speaking — Olive back at camp wanting to fix everyone's feelings, the more she tries the more stuck she becomes. The Click that quietly teaches the difference between caring and managing.

  • Friendship and belonging
  • Adventure and freedom

Why parents love it

The Click that does the boundary work — Olive caught between two friends in conflict, slowly learning that other people's feelings aren't hers to fix. Useful for a child who tends to over-manage, who feels responsible for everyone's mood.
