Second Time's the Charm (Camp Confidential Series #7), Vol. 7 Book

Sworn city girl Natalie Goode is actually back voluntarily at Lakepuke for more. More mess-food cooking, more bug-infested bunk beds, and even more nature shack (well, maybe not nature shack; a girl has to maintain some standards, after all). And even though the returning 3C-ers have been split up, she s still got Alyssa as her bunkmate and official summertime BFF. Unfortunately, there s a new camper on the scene! Tori is sophisticated, literate, and very cute. Good thing Natalie s not the jealous type . . . or is she?

But when Natalie arrives at camp, there's a girl named Tori, who seems to steal Natalie's thunder from the get-go.
