520 |a Phoenny Fang plans to have the best summer ever. She's returning to Summertime Chinese Culture, Wellness, and Enrichment Experience (SCCWEE for short and "Squee" to campers in the know), and this year she's a senior camper. That means she, her best friend, Lyrica Chu, and her whole bunk (known as the Squad) will have the most influence. It almost doesn't matter that her brother is a CIT (counselor-in-training) and that her mom and auntie are the camp directors. Time spent at Squee is glorious, free, and sacred. On the day she arrives, though, Phoenny learns that the Squad has been split up. There's an influx of campers this year, and the new girls have been mixed with the returning campers. Phoenny is determined to be welcoming and to share all the things she loves about camp with the new campers-who doesn't love spending hours talking about and engaging in cultural activities? But she quickly learns how out of touch she is with others' experiences, particularly of the campers who are adoptees. The same things that make her feel connected to her culture and community make some of the other campers feel excluded. Summer at Squee turns out to be even more transformative than Phoenny could've imagined, with new friendships, her first crush, an epic fashion show, and a bigger love for and understanding of her community.
