Resumen del Editor

Gen's family is more comfortable spending time apart than together. Then Gen's mom signs them up for Camp Frontiera vacation that promises the "thrill" of living like 1890s pioneers. Forced to give up all of her modern possessions, Gen nevertheless manages to email her friends back home about life at "Little Hell on the Prairie", as she's renamed the camp.

It turns out frontier life isn't without its good points, like the cute boy who lives in the next clearing. And when her friends turn her emails into a blog, Gen is happily surprised by the fanbase that springs up. But just when it seems Gen and family might pull through the summer, disaster strikes as a TV crew descends on the camp, intent on discovering the girl behind the nationwide blogging sensation and perhaps ruining the best vacation Gen has ever had.

Read

I would read this book because it is a good story. I already read it. ☺😊😀😁😂😃😄😅😆😇😉

Cute

I'm decades beyond my teen years, but enjoy a good adolescent novel on occasion. This was quite entertaining. And only once or twice did I cringe at the teenager-ness of the characters. It kept my interest, and I really enjoyed all the characters and the story line.

All around great story!

The story of a family going on "vacation" to an 1890's Frontier Camp is both funny and engaging and I was absolutely hooked on this story from the start all the way through to the end!

Basically, as with a lot of family vacations, the teenagers are none too happy about being forced into the experience and the parents aren't quite so sure if they understood what they were getting themselves into. The experience provides lessons to be learned of course; but the author writes in such a way that you can both understand what they are going through, while also laughing a bit at the situations they find themselves in. The narrator also did an excellent job of making the characters in the story come to life just with the tone of her voice. This is really a good story for the entire family - children, teens, and adults!

Fun story

This story was hilarious, with lots of laughing out loud! It has a good family message.

A fun escape

I bought this title on sale for $4.95. I really got caught up in the story of a suburban teen who is dragged off to a frontier camp with her family to live as if it were the 1890s. Their lives are much harder than even the most die-hard Little House fan could imagine. The story is a compelling soap opera: Will Gen win the heart of the cute guy? Will Nora ever stop being a nasty know-it-all? Will Pumpkin the chicken get to live?
