Discovering who you are means stepping out of your comfort zone.

James Browning is, in a word, ordinary. At 16, he's navigating life as the forgotten middle ground at Mooresville High-neither popular nor outcast, neither exceptional nor unnoticed. But this summer, James is ready for a change. Armed with determination and every penny he's saved, he's heading to Camp Mistwick, a brand-new summer camp promising adventure, connection, and the chance to finally be more than just "average."

Nestled deep in the Indiana wilderness, Camp Mistwick is everything James has ever dreamed of: shimmering lakes, towering forests, and challenges that will push him further than he's ever dared to go. But as James takes his first steps into this unfamiliar world, he quickly learns that camp isn't just about kayaking and campfires-it's about the people. And among the mix of friendly faces and fierce competition, one stands out: Mary, with her quick smile and her own hidden vulnerabilities.

As James forges new friendships, faces unexpected rivalries, and confronts his own insecurities, he begins to discover that the person he wants to be might have been inside him all along. But will the summer be enough to change his life forever-or will he return home as the same unremarkable James he's always been?

"Camp Mistwick" is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about self-discovery, friendship, and finding the courage to step into the unknown. If you love relatable characters, heartfelt growth, and a touch of summer romance, this is the book for you.
