LONG DISTANCE by Whitney Gardner

 

Vega is perfectly happy with one BFF, but when she has to move from Portland to Seattle she knows things will change. She and Halley promise to keep in touch and see each other whenever possible, but long distance friendship is sure to be a challenge.

Now Vega's dads are insisting she attend a sleepaway camp specially designed for making new friends. The camp is deep in the woods with little if any cellphone service, and it is going to be filled with kids who need help connecting and making friends. Great! (That's a sarcastic "great" by the way.)

Forced into activities with the other strange kids, Vega begins to hang out with a few others determined to avoid friendship by any means necessary. When unusual things begin to happen with the camp counselors, the weird weather, and the food, Vega and the others decide to investigate. Something is definitely going on, but it's hard to say just what.

LONG DISTANCE is a graphic novel by Whitney Gardner. It is perfect for readers looking for mystery and intrigue and a little bit of advice on exactly what makes a friend.
