"Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is such a good cartoonist I almost can’t stand it.” —Raina Telgemeier, author of SmileIn Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is fit in—but that’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. Vera’s single mother can’t afford that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price range—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!

"Very enjoyable, fast-paced, well-drawn sorta memoir about summer camp and finding your place."
Ricki Marking-Camuto
"This was a good book! I enjoyed it for what it was. I think this book needs no expectations of how you think it will end. It seemed to parallel real life. I think a real person would act like this. Though there were times I wanted more. More happiness, more revenge, more of the male character who was bullied in the other camp, more info about what will happen next. It left me wanting more in a very manageable way. I can tolerate not having more. I would still recommend it."

"Such a cute story with beautiful illustrations. I’d especially recommend it to younger people (around 8-12 years old) because there’s a lot they can relate to, but it’s also a fun and charming read for people of all ages!"
