To Night Owl From Dogfish

To Night Owl From Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer, 295 pages

This epistolary novel starts when headstrong 12-year-old Bett Devlin finds out that her dad is sending her to a camp in Michigan, the primary purpose of which is to get to know her fellow 12-year-old Avery Bloom. Why? Because, despite living on opposite coasts, Bett and Avery's dads are dating and are planning on a life together. What starts as an email exchange to thwart their dads' plans gradually turns into emails about Bett and Avery's growing friendship, their separate families, and their eventual dreams of sisterhood. It's a great story, and a perfect new twist on The Parent Trap-style stories of summer camp.
