Bookroo's summary

With a supportive teacher, a classroom pet, and her brother's advice, Liz discovers that summer school might hold unexpected lessons beyond numbers. Will she manage to balance her responsibilities and still enjoy her summer? Dive into Liz's journey of growth and friendship, where the stakes are more than just grades.

From the publisher

Liz is excited for a fun summer with The Critter Club, but will summer school ruin her plans? It’s almost time for summer vacation, and Liz is looking forward to sleeping in, taking an art class, and spending plenty of time with her friends at The Critter Club! Between fun summer plans and busy petsitting schedules, the girls are going to have their hands full. But on the last day of school, Liz gets the unexpected news that her math grades aren’t where they need to be. Though she’s not thrilled to be stuck in summer school, Liz works hard–and learns a lesson even more important than fractions. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Critter Club chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
