Be prepared

A gripping and hilarious middle-grade summer camp memoir from the author of Anyas Ghost that tells a relatable story about navigating ones own culture, struggling to belong, and the value of true friendship.

Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest.

Vera is such a good cartoonist I almost cant stand it.

--Raina Telgemeier, author of Smile In Be Prepared , all Vera wants to do is fit in--but thats not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs.

Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps.

Veras single mother cant afford that sort of luxury, but theres one summer camp in her price range--Russian summer camp.

Vera is sure shes found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined.

And nothing could prepare her for all the cool girl drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!.
