Not a Happy Camper by Mindy Schneider: This memoir about the author’s experiences at an eight-week camp in the summer of 1974 is not one I would have read had I not won it in a contest, but it was a nice story. The author spends most of her time in the woods bemoaning her unpopularity and chasing boys, which is made more interesting with a thorough sprinkling of amusing anecdotes. While I don’t expect this quick little read to appeal to anyone who was never a 13-year-old girl or a camper, it was a pleasant diversion.
