Publisher Description
The extraordinary - and extraordinarily powerful - follow-up to HEY, KIDDO.
When Jarrett J. Krosoczka was in high school, he was part of a program that sent students to be counselors at a camp forseriously ill kids and their families. Going into, Jarrett was worried: Wouldn't it be depressing, to be around kids facing such aserious struggle? Wouldn't it be grim?But instead of the shadow of death, Jarrett found something else at Camp Sunshine: the hope and determination that gets peoplethrough the most troubled of times. Not only was he subject to some of the usual rituals that come with being a camp counselor(wilderness challenges, spooky campfire stories, an extremely stinky mascot costume), but he also got a chance to meet someextraordinary kids facing extraordinary circumstances. He learned about the captivity of illness, for sure . . . but he also learnedabout the freedom a safe space can bring.Now, in his follow-up to the National Book Award finalist Hey, Kiddo, Jarrett brings readers back to Camp Sunshine so we canmeet the campers and fellow counselors who changed the course of his life.Download and start listening now!
“Originally a graphic memoir, it becomes a powerful cinematic audio because of the coordination of more than fifty narrators, carefully selected music, and sound effects that enhance the action…Most notable among them are Diego…portrayed by Noah Rico, and joyful, giggly Eric, who embraces superhero status, portrayed by Xavier Krosoczka. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.”
