well i would recommend this book because its a book about friendship. Vera didn't have any friends at camp and her tent buddies were mean to her and they were only nice to her when she gave them her candy or drew for them so that wasn't really nice. But then at the end she made a friend and before that she had to stay for 2 extra weeks at the camp and she was angry. She had no friends not even her brother would talk to her. She wanted to be like the other kids and how she didn't fit in. This book was a mirror for me ( i had the same feelings or the same thing happened ). I felt like i didn't fit in with the girls in my class and i felt like they didn't like me. I wanted to be the same and fit in with them but i could`t do that because i don`t want to change and sometimes i do but that is what they see me as but i don`t ( well actually i do too ). Then i figured out the was actually someone that accepted me the way i was and i was surprised to see who it was but at least i was happy. I don`t want to change no more. so if you feel like you don`t fit in like i did then read this book its good.
