Even though he knows the camp is for disabled children, Ron Jones anticipates sunny days of hiking, swimming, and boating as a counselor at Camp Wiggin. But he arrives and realizes how severely disabled the children are, it seems too much to bear. Until he meets his campers—The Acorn People. A group of kids who teach him that, inside, they are are the same as any average kid, and with encouragement, determination, and friendship, nothing is impossible.
"A fantastic and beautiful story."—Seattle Times
"Uncomfortably moving, yet told in surprisingly unsentimental terms. . . . Succinct and tender, it will haunt the reader long after the brief passages have been read."—Houston Chronicle
"It will give your innards a bear hug. . . . You will read this book with a lump in your throat."—Lincoln Journal (Nebraska)

The Acorn People
Other reviewers claimed the book was ableist. I wouldn't say that. The book really isn't self-aggrandizing in any way. The author learns to like the job and the kids. Then they go home. The end. It doesn't read like a pat on the back. It reads more like a dry book that was written to make a little extra cash. But the drama is lacking. The characterization is weak. I guess it reads like a summer journal written by someone with no intention of publishing the journal, which is presumably what it was.
That epilogue is depressing as hell though.
