What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Join eleven year old Chloe McCorkle on her trip to summer Camp Minnehaha in this action-packed, laugh-out-loud book perfect for middle schoolers and kids ages 9 to 12.Someone once told me that money can’t buy a girl happiness. Well, they obviously never had to ride a baby bike to the first day of middle school.There is no way eleven-year old Chloe is going into the sixth grade riding her old pink bicycle! But before she can earn money for a new bike, she’s shipped off to career camp.She decides to make the best of it: she’ll learn cake decorating and earn money when she gets home, frosting cupcakes at a local shop. But nothing goes according to plan. Between fighting off a rampaging goat named King Arthur, a spider that just won’t die, and a prima donna bunkmate named Victoria Radamoskovich, there’s no time left for Chloe to learn cake decorating.When the last day of camp comes, will Chloe be ready to cupcake-decorate her way to a new bike? Or does everything really have to go to plan?
