Lucy and her pack are back, in this sequel to Beth Vrabel's heartwarming and humorous debut, Pack of Dorks. Sheldon convinces Lucy, Sam, April, and Amanda to join him at a weeklong sleep-away summer camp Camp Paleo: Live Like a Caveman. Like cavemen, they're going to have to make do without air conditioning or a heated pool. They'll learn archery and dig for fossils. And Grandma's coming too; she's taking a job as lunch lady for the camp next door.
At the last minute, Sam backs out to go to a gymnastics training camp instead. Lucy wonders why she misses him so much it's not like he's her boyfriend or anything. Why does the word "boyfriend" make her blush, even when she's only thinking it? She needs a distraction. Enter Mr. Bosserman, the grouchy camp leader who won't budge on the caveman aspect of the camp. The old man needs some softening up, and Lucy knows just the person for the job: Grandma.
One successful match made, Lucy starts to see potential lovebirds everywhere. And setting up couples keeps her from facing the question tickling the back of her mind: Is she in love with Sam? But when the wrong campers fall for each other, the pack falls apart, all under the watchful eye of a super secret blogger who's been writing about the camp's activities Gossip Girl style. Even worse? A thief is targeting everyone but Lucy, setting her up to look guilty. Soon Lucy again finds herself alone, left to fix the messes she's made and face her own feelings. If she fails, the pack may be splintered for good.
Camp Dork sigue teniendo la frescura y sentido del humor que tanto me gustó del primer libro. Retrata muy bien de quienes están a punto de entrar a la adolescencia, sobre todo en como manejan los problemas que cada vez son más adultos, como el saber donde encajar, si es que lo hacen, o el romance que está empezando a asomarse, así no quieran que eso suceda.
Puedes sentir bastante claro como los niños están a muy poco de dejar de serlo, y duele un poquito (sobre todo si tienes hermanos chiquitos que estan más o menos en la misma edad )
