Goodreads Summary:
Gen's family is more comfortable spending time apart than together. Then Gen's mom signs them up for Camp Frontier—a vacation that promises the "thrill" of living like 1890s pioneers. Forced to give up all of her modern possessions, Gen nevertheless manages to email her friends back home about life at "Little Hell on the Prairie," as she's renamed the camp. It turns out frontier life isn't without its good points—like the cute boy who lives in the next clearing. And when her friends turn her emails into a blog, Gen is happily surprised by the fanbase that springs up. But just when it seems Gen and family might pull through the summer, disaster strikes as a TV crew descends on the camp, intent on discovering the girl behind the nationwide blogging sensation—and perhaps ruining the best vacation Gen has ever had.
My Review: I love books, and this was a very intriguing book. The plot was hilarious, being taken away from everything modern. Everything you could use to communicate with your friends. But sometimes it all just works out, maybe too well.
Book 3/5

Hi there!
We’re the Class of 2k12, a group of authors whose debut works of young-adult and middle-grade fiction will come out in 2012.
You may have heard of our predecessors, as the 2k classes go all the way back to 2007. Many well-known and acclaimed middle-grade and young-adult authors have been a part of previous 2k classes, including Rebecca Stead (When You Reach Me), Jay Asher (Thirteen Reasons Why), and Sarah Prineas (The Magic Thief series). We hope to carry on this tradition and do them proud!
It’s almost our turn to try. Our website, http://www.classof2k12.com, will be launching on 10-12-2011, and we’d like to keep you informed of the contests, activities and appearances we’ve planned throughout 2012. We’ll also be available for guest blogging, Skype visits, online chats, and even some in-person events as the year rolls along.
If you’d like to receive our flyer and join our mailing list, please email us at info@classof2k12.com and provide the best email address at which to reach you. You will hear from us once a month with a friendly, non-spammy newsletter, and we will never share your email address with anyone, period.
We look forward to hearing from you, and please feel free to be in touch with questions, comments or requests.
Best,
