This chapter book tells a story of a boy who is upset because another family is living with him and his family for the summer. When his amazing aunt decides to create a summer camp for the children, the summer begins to be really fun. The children go through many exciting adventures! ( )

I loved this book! Julia Alvarez can weave a story magnificently. This is a fantastic book for young adults because it addresses so many issues that they are consumed with. The culminating lesson of this Tia Lola book is to look within. Many kids need help doing this and this book illustrates multiple possibilities. ( )
