"Amber's Song" by Olivia, Kaitlyn, and Camryn Pitts with Janel Rodriguez Ferrer

About this book:

  “In the third book in the Daniels Sister series, Amber and her sisters Ashton and Ansley head to Christian summer camp at Camp Caracara. It’s been an annual tradition for years! With high hopes, the twins meet their cabinmates Gio, an old friend from back home in Texas, and Milli, a new friend with some challenges to overcome. Amber will have to work hard to practice kindness and patience as she handles teasing from her own sisters about bringing along her favorite furry coat from Mom, which she thinks she’ll be able to use as a costume in a skit or two, since she plans on participating in as many as possible this year—she just loves singing and performing for a crowd. And she’ll also need the same patience and kindness as she navigates new camping experiences this year as well.”

{ Clean for all ages, ratings are lower for older ages due to middle-grade problems. }
While this wasn’t my favorite from this series because of lying from the new girl, there were good lessons in this book for young readers.

But that joy is in jeopardy when Rani’s father announces they may be moving to London. Ashton comes up with what she and her friends think is a foolproof plan to keep Rani with them.

While I think I personally preferred the first book just a bit more, this one was really cute as well! I really like the messages of faith shown and how the girls work out friendship troubles.
