Bookroo's summary

Melman returns to Camp Rolling Hills, only to find her bunkmates obsessed with pink and boys. Meanwhile, Steinberg's robot explodes during a contest, shattering his confidence. Together, they face unexpected challenges: Melman dons a pink dress for a dare, and Steinberg navigates camp without his beloved robots. Can they reclaim their summer with a secret plan involving hamburgers? Discover how friendship and creativity can turn a chaotic camp experience into an unforgettable adventure.

From the publisher

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.
