Awesome Book For Anyone!

Review by Alma

I really liked this book because it’s a book about a girl named Sydney (obviously) who ends up switching summer camps with her best friend, Maggie. Maggie and Sydney are both really fun, great characters. Sydney is a tall girl with a mom who’s expecting a baby who doesn’t like public speaking at all and there’s Maggie, who’s average height with an older brother and loves to dance. There are lots of twists and turns, there were parts where I cringed, like one time you think that something happened, when really something else did (I’m trying not to give spoilers), but all in all I think anyone from age 8 to age 12, would find this book a great read.

MUST READ!!!!!❤️❤️

Review by GalaxyGabs

This book is so good! It was on my TBR for a long time and the cover looked very promising so I went and picked it up and read it. I loved it so much. I could not put it down. Like, I was getting so distracted from my life! It's about this girl Sydney (obvi) and she really wants to spend all summer with her best friend, Maggie! Unfortunately, her mom already had plans for Sydney. She wanted her to pick any class that she wanted at the community center summer program, except for the reading class which she really wanted! She finds out that her Maggie also got signed up for this, but got signed up for the reading class, and so they try to think what could they do in the meantime and try to save their summer! They realize that they could switch places and pretend that they are each other. Sydney doesn't think that this is a good idea but Maggie definitely does and in the end they end up doing it and it has a really nice meaning to it and it's really funny, SO PICK THIS ONE!!!
