![]() ![]() At the first campfire of the summer, Briana tricks Sarah into thinking that some boys threw fireworks in the campfire, which puts Sarah in a panic. Of course this doesn't last as she seems to embarrass the others by pointing out the things that make them feel easily humiliated. The aforementioned Briana, Meg, a short, chubby girl, and Jan, a girl with a blonde ponytail and a raspy voice due to having asthma. One of her bunk mates, an African American girl named Briana lets her royal highness get the bed she needs.ĭespite this, Sarah seems to hit it off well with her bunk mates. When she gets to her bunk for example, she throws a hissy fit about needing a bottom bunk and not wanting the one in front of the window with bugs on it. So this is going to be a fun read, I can already tell. She hates going to camp, she hates being called grasshopper by her dad, when people tell her camp will be fun, she just whines some more. We get a good grasp as to what Sarah's main characteristic is by the first chapter and that's a massive complainer. Our protagonist is Sarah, who is going to Camp Cold Lake with her younger brother Aaron. ![]()
