Seventeen Wishes Christy Miller by Robin Gunn


Title: Seventeen Wishes
Author: Robin Jones Gunn
Stars: 5
Description: It's summer, and that means the beach and other adventures. And Christy Miller's best friend, Katie, is always full of ideas. They'll be camp counselors! But when Katie can't go, Christy is bewildered and overwhelmed by her fifth-grade girls, who have boundless energy for everything except what Christy wants then to do. Do they even hear a word she says? Soon they're playing matchmaker between Christy and Jaeson, a handsome counselor...and he doesn't seem to mind. When Chrisy's seventeenth birthday arrives later in the summer, just what will she be wishing for?
Christy's friend, Katie, has signed them both up as camp counselors! But soon Katie finds out that her parents won't let her go, so Christy is a little afraid. A couple of hours with her fifth-grade girl campers, is just about enough to make anyone go insane.
But Christy finds out that she needs to show love and compassion to these little girls. And when she does it makes things a lot easier. And then Christy's seventeenth birthday comes up. And she finds out that everything is perfect the way it is.
