I feel like I've just been on a camping trip with two of my favorite characters of all time: Stevie-Girl and Jase, the "phantom magnets." Ms. Swann's details are so rich the reader can see the beauties of the mountains, the lake, and the creek, smell the campfire and the fish and the bait, taste the s'mores and the hot dogs, and feel those mosquitoes bite! This is more than a campout, or even a "best friends" story. The poignant depth of the characters is explored in just enough detail that one aches for them. I was worried this might be the last book in the series, but the ending hints at #4. I can't wait!
