This paper over board features sprayed stenciled edges (depicting doodles by Rubie!).

The true middle school experience--awkward, DRAMATIC, and really fun!--comes to life in this hilarious diary-style series featuring color-lined pages and black and white illustrations. In the first book, Rubie has to face sleepaway camp without her BFF!

Hello, summer! Eleven-year-old Rubie Fox can't wait to go to sleepaway camp for the very first time. She and her best friend Riley Swisher will go away for an entire month TOGETHER, and they'll even be able to spy on Riley's crush Owen, who will be across from Camp Pineview, over at the boys' camp, Moose-Ridge.

But when Riley drops a bomb--she can't go to camp because she broke her ankle--Rubie has to go by herself. Which sort of makes her feel RAGE...how can she go to camp without Riley?! But her mom has already paid for it, so she's stuck with her plushie chicken Jim the Duck and a cabin full of girls she doesn't know.

But Rubie just might make another BFF, break out of her shell, and even meet a boy...all without Riley. Camp might be more eventful than Rubie ever thought it could be--with more drama than she ever imagined!
