They were apprehensive to let her go but she loved every moment. Melody's family were very lovely and supportive, the process of camp application showed us to be a very serious one. I felt it was a little bogged down in the minuate of the every day routine, but I loved that the kids could do all the fun stuff - horse back riding, swimming, flying fox, dancing, art. The author writes an easy to read and flowing tale of the new found freedoms experienced by tweens at a camp for kids that are not as able bodied as their peers, kids that wouldn't normally be able to have this freedom and experience. This could be read as a stand alone, but I think better read in sequence. It was some time ago, and there were a few references to her experience of attending a school competition where she was left behind by her peers, and the simple concept of not fitting in. This is a great story for young readers, and of course, readers like me that fell in love with Melody in book number one. She is gutsy, affable and very switched on. Melody is not even yet a teenager, but she is a very smart young woman. Just like every other kid that can do these things without a care in the world. It was so good to see Melody attend camp, just like all the other kids at school.
