About this book:
“It’s
summertime—and when you’re a Carroway, that means heading to camp for an
exciting week of fun, friends, and faith-building. But this summer will be different—rumor
has it that the camp is struggling and may be sold to a resort developer at the
end of the season. Cousins Allie, Kendall, Lola, Ruby, and Hunter are
devastated by the news, so they set out on a mission to save the camp!
It’s a job that will take some strong
prayer, a clever plan, and a little sleuthing, made difficult by the constant
presence of Allie’s new “friend,” Madison Doonsberry, and California surfer-boy
Nathan Fremont. But when they uncover information about a similar camp struggle
in the past and discover clues that lead them to the true story behind the
disappearance of legendary girls’ cabin six, the cousins realize that they’re
right in the middle of God’s plan to grow them closer together and teach them
the value of lost people.
This fourth book in the Faithgirlz
Princess in Camo series is the perfect addition to this unique storyline about
a fun and faith-filled family in a world of class and camouflage.”

Now, I’m not a camper (at all),
but I did really enjoy the last book in the “Princess in Camo” series. The
mysteries were exciting and it finished off the series very well.
This series was much better than
I expected, and I particularly enjoyed the third book and this last one. This final
book’s ending was great, but I also loved all the faith content in it.
The first book was a little “out
there” (or just not believable), so if that one turned you off, I would
recommend trying out the next book. I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I
enjoyed this series and I’m glad my library had them.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
