Gr 9 Up—Gregor Maravilla arrives at Camp Save the World ready to make a difference and bring light to his cause, "Feed the Children." There is only one problem: actress Ashley Woodstone somehow got into the camp and now instead of people focusing on making a difference in the world, everyone is focusing on her. As camp goes on, Gregor realizes two things: one, that Camp Save the World isn't everything that it seems to be on the surface, and two, that Ashley Woodstone might not be that bad. Moldavsky does an excellent job giving an authentic voice to Gregor, capturing the feeling of being surrounded by people while still feeling alone. Narrator Michael Crouch makes the listening experience pleasant as he voices unassertive Gregor, bubbly Ashley, and arrogant men's rights activists.
VERDICT Recommended for YA collections.
