Camper GirlGlenn Erick Miller
One map leads to another, and Shannon journeys deep into New York’s Adirondack Mountains where she faces her greatest fears and navigates a new reality that is as unpredictable as the wilderness itself. During her scavenger hunt of self-discovery, Shannon uncovers a stunning family secret, experiences the healing power of nature, and learns that a person’s path through life is never clearly marked.
My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Shannon Burke loves her eccentric aunt and has always looked up to her. When Shannon finds out that Rebecca has died and left her a camper, she knows that this is the way out of her life. Feeling stuck at her job and the crushing weight of her mother’s business, this couldn’t have happened at a better time. As Shannon navigates her aunt’s map, she will learn more about herself than she ever has. Camper Girl by Glenn Erick Miller is a coming of age story that is a finalist in Next Generation’s Indie Book Awards and I can see why. Shannon is intensely relatable and her journey and growth, inspiring for teenagers. The writing is crisp and evokes many different emotions.
