Sweet-And-Sour Summer

This was absolutely the best Dish book Diane Muldrow has written. It all starts out when Amanda Moore finds out she has been accepted to Spotlight Camp, a camp she was dying to get into a few months before. She's thrilled at the thought of being able to go and act her heart out with other kids all over the country! But Molly is less than happy about this news. She tries to hide her dissapointment, but somehow she just can't. How could she survive a summer without Amanda? Well, at least she has the rest of the Chef Girls...right? Wrong. Day after day, it seems like Molly's being left in the dust. Shawn goes away to Cheerleading Camp, and is very surprised to learn that Angie was suspended from the camp. Now she's stuck with Elizabeth, the girl who Angie sabotaged a few weeks before. Elizabeth obviously thinks that Shawn is involved with Angie's bad-doing. How can Shawn convince her that she's innocent? What's even more surprising is that Natasha's going to France with her Mom! And is she ever going to be in for the surprise of her life...fashion, museums, and art classes...she's going to experience it all! Peichi has been swept away to China, where she's originally from, and is thrilled to be with her family again, and learn about where her grandparents are from...and she's having an awesome time filming it all! But what about Molly? Well, she can't be stuck in boring Brooklyn by herself all summer can she? No way! She takes up a job being a mothers helper for the summer at the beach. And who does she meet while she's there? None other than Justin McElroy: her twin's crush from back home. Uh oh...sounds like trouble to me! Read this book to find out all about these girls' exciting summers! Highly recommended.
