Donna Parker at Cherrydale
Book 1 of the Donna Parker series
Fourteen-year-old Donna Parker and her impulsive best friend Ricky take summer jobs as junior counselors at Camp Cherrydale. Camp responsibilities bring new friendships, homesickness, personality clashes, and opportunities for Donna to prove more capable than she initially realizes. The girls’ contrasting temperaments create much of the humor as they learn that looking after younger campers is more complicated than escaping a boring summer at home. Marcia Martin opens the Donna Parker series with a mid-century girls’ adventure centered on friendship, growing responsibility, and the social world of summer camp.
