description: All-girl camp. First love. First heartbreak. At once romantic and devastating brutally honest and full of humor this graphic-novel memoir is a debut of the rarest sort.Maggie Thrash has spent basically every summer of her fifteen-year-old life at the one-hundred-year-old Camp Bellflower for Girls set deep in the heart of Appalachia. Shes from Atlanta shes never kissed a guy shes into Backstreet Boys in a really deep way and her long summer days are full of a pleasant peaceful nothing . . . until one confounding moment. A split-second of innocent physical contact pulls Maggie into a gut-twisting love for an older wiser and most surprising of all (at least to Maggie) female counselor named Erin. But Camp Bellflower is an impossible place for a girl to fall in love with another girl and Maggies savant-like proficiency at the camps rifle range is the only thing keeping her heart from exploding. When it seems as if Erin maybe feels the same way about Maggie its too much for both Maggie and Camp Bellflower to handle let alone to understand.
