Breanna has a reputation to uphold. She is known for her guts and toughness. Planning and playing pranks have earned her respect from friends and classmates. Now that she will be in sixth grade in a school that combines kids from a bunch of elementary schools, she'll have to make new friends and make sure they recognize her talents.
All summer she has been dreading the teambuilding camp that takes place the week before school starts. Informational pamphlets have been arriving in the mail. As long as her mother doesn't know about it, she won't be forced to attend so she has been gathering the pamphlets and burying them in the backyard. When the final week of summer vacation approaches, her mother mentions shopping for camp supplies. Oh no! How did her mother know? How will she get out of it?
Now she is at camp faced with new people, uncomfortable situations, and worst of all, the prospect of having to tackle the Sky Ropes. Breanna's fear of heights is all twisted up with the most terrifying event of her life. It involves her father who now has a restraining order that prohibits him from getting anywhere close to her, but that doesn't keep her from nightmares about him and what happened.
How will she keep up her rep as a tough, brave, prankster if she is constantly worried about the Sky Ropes? The camp counselors keep preaching that the camp challenges are by choice, but what if she is the only one who chooses to say "no" to the frightening Ropes?
Author Sondra Soderborg's debut book SKY ROPES explores personal challenge, bullies, and trauma in a way that will have readers connecting to Breanna and her friends. With breath-taking adventures, quirky characters, and fun camp moments SKY ROPES is sure to keep readers turning pages from start to finish.
