About this ebook
Readers who love Leslie Connor and Ann M. Martin will adore this story of a citywide scavenger hunt and a girl who learns that family—and weirdness—is relative.
Summer Coding Camp
Incoming 7th graders only
Eight-week session begins June 28
This is it, my summer plan.
Hoping to ditch two months of chicken coops, kale, and her parents’ antiscreen rules, Mac MacLeod sets out to win a citywide food cart scavenger hunt and the money she needs for the summer coding camp of her dreams.
But Mac discovers more than just clues during her cross-city sprint—like how her weird parents might not be the worst thing compared to the circumstances of those around her.
With the same humor and hope of her debut novel, Mostly the Honest Truth, Jody J. Little gives readers another spunky, unforgettable character to root for.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5For Mac, this is the summer that she will get to go to computer coding camp, but standing in her way are her parents who make Mac call them by their first names, conduct goat yoga classes, and ride bicycles naked to protest oil mining. They believe that screen time will warp Mac's values, and she knows they will never give her $500 for camp. When she stumbles on a clue to a summer food truck contest, Mac thinks she may have come up with at way to pay for the camp herself. She teams with her best friends, who are both dealing with problems of their own and meets a boy that seems to suddenly appear and disappear at will.
Although this story is not great literature, it is a very enjoyable middle grade story. Several themes such as the importance of self acceptance and the value of helping others are clearly presented as part of the book. The characters in the story are very likable, even though they sometimes make poor choices, but they learn from them. Overall, this is a quick and fun MG story with characters that learn valuable life lessons.
