Faith and the Camp Snob

"I quite enjoyed this book. I would love to read more of this series. Lots of things made this book more enjoyable than other cheerleading books, but above all, is the notes that explain all the cheerleading terms. These really helped me to better understand the story. I also liked the quiz after the story that tells you which of the cheerleaders you are most like."

"While cheering has really never been my thing I thought this looked like a cute summer book & I was right. It's no secret that I love Capstone but I'll definitely be adding Jen Jones to my list of must watch authors for middle-grade girls."

"Kat is fourteen and is tired of being fat. She wants this to be the summer that she really loses it. When her parents turn down her idea of fat camp, she decides to do her own health camp. She joins a gym and starts seeing a nutritionist. The Summer I Lost it tells the story of her summer as she gets healthier and starts losing the weight. To sweeten things even more, she might just find the other thing she really wants - a boyfriend! While a fictional story, the book could be helpful to other girls in the same situation as Kat. It encourages healthy ways to lose weight - a balanced diet and exercise - rather than risky and drastic methods. Also , the tone is very upbeat and encouraging. Also included within the chapters are calorie comparisons between bad and healthy meals, and at the end, healthy recipes are included for the reader to try. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/195900474"
