BE PREPARED SC

One of our Gosh! Best of 2018 titles! In Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is fit inƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚—but thatƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚’s not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Veraƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚’s single mother canƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚’t afford that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price rangeƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚—Russian summer camp. Vera is sure she's found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the "cool girl" drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!
