This book was extremely rushed. Right after we are introduced to the camps that the children are attending, the camps are over. Right after we shown Oki being asked to model, it is over and the paper with her portraits in it is out. This leaves me feeling like I missed something......but, I didn't....there really is no filling to the story at all. Most the details of what happens are missing.
I am, overall, VERY UNimpressed with the 2 books I have read from this series. I had hoped they would be good, but they were - not at all.
It was the awesomest book I ever read. It's so cool because it's about these cool kids when you put one of the first letters of each of their names it spells Groovy. It was about them going to camp. Three girls went to sports camp, two of them went to camp all stars and one of them went to summer in Paris. It was cool.
