Tagalong Caitlin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990674276)

Caitlin loves summer camp! She has spent every summer she can remember at camp with her mom, who is a counselor. This summer, Caitlin wants to join the difficult, three-day hike with the older girls. But Caitlin's mom says she's not old enough yet. Caitlin is determined to change her mom's mind and prove she is strong enough for the hike. Will Caitlin be allowed to go on the overnight hike? And if so, will she be able to do the full three days?

Tagalong Caitlin is illustrated with a delightful selection of pencil and ink drawings, including four full page illustrations, one half-page picture, and more than a dozen small pencil vignettes that will be scattered throughout.
Most delightfully, a charming lizard, meant to be one of the vignettes, developed a personality and we decided to use him as a kind of mascot. He greets the reader at the start each chapter giving one more reason to turn the pages.

"Tagalong Caitlin is about growing up; about setting a goal and working to get there, and about sticking to it when the going gets tough. Young readers will love the outdoor setting and enjoy Caitlin's 'can-do' attitude as she tries to become just like the other campers." Marion Coste, award winning author of seven children's books.
