Book three in the super-fun, paperback-original series that captures the unforgettable adventures of summer
camp.
It’s the end of the summer, which means one thing: Color War time! Color War is the event of the summer, a
massive camp-wide competition. The camp is divided into two teams, Blue and White, with upper campers
vying for the envied spot of lieutenant, a team leader position. Jenny assumes she’s got lieutenant in the bag,
being a “popular girl” and all. And Play Dough sure hopes he does too—members of his family have been
White team lieutenants for generations! But when assignments are announced, both are in for a surprise. Play
Dough’s a lieutenant all right—for the enemy Blue team—and Jenny isn’t lieutenant at all. So who is? Jamie,
Jenny’s sidekick. With the entire camp amping up for an all-out war, can Jenny and Play Dough overcome
expectations and lead their teams to victory?
A super-fun, paperback-original series that captures the unforgettable adventures of summer camp, complete
with crushes, pranks, and s'mores-launching with two books!
A hilarious and heartfelt series about the particular magic of summer camp—a place where reinvention is
possible and friends are like family—from a sparkling debut talent.
There's only one thing Melman loves more than soccer: her summers at Camp Rolling Hills. So she's pumped to
be back—until she realizes her bunkmates have gone totally boy-crazy over the school year and plastered their
cabin in pink. Pink posters, pink t-shirts...it seems that the only not-pink thing in the cabin is Melman herself.
That is, until she's given a dare in front of the entire camp: wear a pink princess dress. For Three. Whole. Days.
Steinberg's summer gets off to a rough start, too, when his robot (usually his area of expertise) blows up during
a camp-wide robotics contest. Steinberg might feel like a loser at home, but camp's supposed to be his place
to shine.
Steinberg without robots? Melman in pink? This whole summer feels turned upside down! To set things right,
Steinberg and Melman team up and hatch a fail-proof plan. The plan's secret ingredient? Hamburgers.
'Camp Rolling Hills is funny and sweet. It brought me back to those amazing summer camp summers and my
very first taste of young adulthood.' --Michael Showalter, co-writer of Wet Hot American Summer
'Stacy Davidowitz gets the magic of camp and the wonder of being twelve just right. Camp Rolling Hills is both
heartwarming and laugh-out-loud hilarious.' --Elissa Brent Weissman, author of Nerd Camp
Finally, it’s summer! Stephanie—aka Slimey—has been counting the days until she can return to her favorite place in the entire world, Camp Rolling Hills. And this year she’s especially happy to be back—she’ll have eight blissful weeks away from home, where life has been decidedly rocky.
New kid Bobby, on the other hand, is pretty sure he’s in for the worst summer of his life. He does not understand his weirdo cabinmates, the group singing, and the unfortunate nicknames (including his: Smelly). But he does understand Slimey, and the two soon fall in crush. This summer might not be so bad after all!
But then a fight sets off an epic, campwide, girls-versus-boys prank war. Bunks are raided! Boxer shorts are stolen! Can Slimey and Smelly keep the peace—or will they get caught in the crossfire?

A heartfelt middle-grade novel about a theater-loving girl who uses a wheelchair for mobility and her quest to defy expectations--and gravity--from Tony award-winning actress Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz
Thirteen-year-old Nat Beacon loves a lot of things: her dog Warbucks, her best friend Chloe, and competing on her wheelchair racing team, the Zoomers, to name a few. But there's one thing she's absolutely OBSESSED with: MUSICALS! From Hamilton to Les Mis, there's not a cast album she hasn't memorized and belted along to. She's never actually been in a musical though, or even seen an actor who uses a wheelchair for mobility on stage. Would someone like Nat ever get cast?
But when Nat's family moves from California to New Jersey, Nat stumbles upon auditions for a kids' production of Wicked, one of her favorite musicals ever! And she gets into the ensemble! The other cast members are super cool and inclusive (well, most of them)-- especially Malik, the male lead and cutest boy Nat's ever seen. But when things go awry a week before opening night, will Nat be able to cast her fears and insecurities aside and 'Defy Gravity' in every sense of the song title?
