In my mind, I was picturing iPhone or Galaxy S. First of all, it would’ve been great if Cathleen Davitt Bell had just cleared up what kind of phone it was. There’s a lot of things that bothered me about Gen’s phone thing. I’m getting tired of spelling this girl’s name. My notes for stories, scribbed down reminders, my alarm clock, all of that is on there.I didn’t understand why Cathleen Davitt Bell had to through a mini love triangle in there though.Īnother thing–some adults think that kids just have this burning desire to be on their phone all the time, but not kids are like that. The characters I didn’t notably like weren’t good, weren’t bad. I really liked Gavin, Caleb, Genevieve’s dad and a lot of the other characters.

One second she was really annoying and then the next second I could totally sympathize with what she was saying, and then at other times I actually genuinely enjoyed reading her narration. For the majority of the beginning of the book, I had a really shaky relationship with Genevieve. I know that I loved that series growing up, and that really helped for this book to grow on me.īut there were a lot of small things I thought were…annoying, I guess. I think that fans of the Little House on the Prairie series will really enjoy this book. It had an original idea that I thought was really cool and I really enjoyed. This book was really interesting, actually. 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. And when her friends turn her emails into a blog, Gen is happily surprised by the fanbase that springs up.

It turns out frontier life isn’t without its good points-like the cute boy who lives in the next clearing. 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. Then Gen’s mom signs them up for Camp Frontier-a vacation that promises the “thrill” of living like 1890s pioneers. Gen’s family is more comfortable spending time apart than together.
