Summer on the Short Bus

Author: Bethany Crandell
Publisher: Running Press Kids
Release Date: April 1, 2014

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Spoiled, Versace-clad Cricket Montgomery has seventeen years of pampering under her belt. So when her father decides to ship her off to a summer camp for disabled teens to help her learn some accountability, Cricket resigns herself to three weeks of handicapped hell.

Her sentence takes a bearable turn as she discovers the humor and likeability of the campers and grows close to fellow counselors. Now, if she can just convince a certain Zac Efron look-alike with amazing blue eyes that she finally realizes there's life after Gucci, this summer could turn out to be the best she's ever had.

Summer on the Short Bus is a very non-P.C., contemporary YA with a lot of attitude, tons of laughs, and a little life lesson along the way.

Why I'm Excited:

This sounds funny and cute and heart-string pull-y. I love a good summer camp story and this one sounds so original and more...heart-warming than most. Plus any mention of Zac Efron gets my attention. Definitely keeping my eye out for this one.

I've seen it once or twice, but never paid that much attention to it. From the cover, I wouldn't have guessed how good it seems. Great pick. :)

Here's mine

This is new-to-me and I love the sound of it. I will read anything that takes place at summer camp; plus, the story sounds really unconventional…definitely checking it out! Great pick!

Oh, this actually does sound cute. Going off the title and cover, I'd passed on it a few times, but I actually read the synopsis, and you're right. I'll probably enjoy it when I'm in the mood for a book that tugs on the heartstrings. :)

Hello, there! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I read each and every one and will do my best to respond--usually on your blog instead of on mine. I will, however, always answer direct questions. Due to serious time restraints, this blog is now an award free zone, but I appreciate the thought!
