10 Lucky Things That Have Happened To Me Since I Nearly Got Hit By Lightning

Even though her father is in prison for embezzlement, ten-year-old Effie considers herself pretty lucky until her friend Aurora leaves Catholic school to attend public school and her contrary sister begins to transform herself into "Saint Maxey."

Camp Wickitawa, here we come! Mary Hershey's third book about fourth grader Effie Maloney is a hilarious Texas adventure, complete with a camp ghost, swim lessons, rescued armadillos, campfires, and cowgirl stew. Effie has been waiting forEVER for St. Dom's special fourth-grade camp. Could there be anything more thrilling than an entire week with her two best friends? But when her big sister Maxey (Bosszilla) ends up working there, Camp Oh-So-Perfect turns into Camp Calamity. And Effie has to figure out how to hide the fact that she's not, um, the greatest swimmer. She can't even float. But she better learn fast, because she just HAS to be named Outstanding Camper of the Week and win back her family's good name! (And she is N-O-T homesick. Completely and totally not even.)
