"Finding Cabin Six" by Missy & Mia Robertson

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.”

My personal Rating-
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!

"Dog Show Disaster" by Missy & Mia Robertson

About this book:

  “When Allie is unanimously elected by her schoolmates as the Student Project Manager of this year’s end-of-the-year school carnival and fundraiser she is excited. Her friends and family love her idea of having a dog show as part of the festivities and know it will be the perfect way to raise money for the local animal shelter.
   But almost immediately things start going haywire. Big and small disasters start to happen, one after the other, and soon Allie cannot imagine how the Ouachita Middle School Bark Fest can possibly be a success. But with the super support of the Carroway cousins, family, and friends, and a strong faith and trust that God knows exactly what is needed and when, things start to turn around … but not without a few hurdles, including a bit of bullying and rivalries, along the way!
   This third 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.”
