Sometimes zany, often touching, always funny, this novel told in emails and letters is about friendship and family - and making the best of both. Avery Bloom is intense, a bit nerdy, and afraid of many things, particularly deep water. SHe lives in New York City. Bett Devlin, who lives in Los Angeles, California, is fearless, outgoing, and loves animals and the ocean. What the two girls have in common is that they are both twelve years old, and are both being raised by single, gay dads. When their dadsfall in love, Bett and Avery are sent, against their will, to the same sleepaway camp. Their dads hope that they will become friends - and possibly, on day, even sisters. But things soon get out of hand for the girls (and their dads, too), and they find themselves on a summer adventure that none of them could have predicted. THeir families will never be the same. -- From dust jacket.
