Noodle Newman has the perfect plan for summer. Camp Hillside has other ideas.

What could possibly complicate things? Shifting friendships, a brewing theater rivalry, one too many radio-show disasters, and a canoe trip that campers will talk about for years to come.Noodle soon discovers that keeping things simple might be the hardest challenge of all. And as Aries finds herself in the spotlight, Noodle is stuck trying to cheer Aries on from the sidelines while figuring out where she fits in.
Packed with laugh-out-loud wordplay, unforgettable camp traditions, and all the awkward, funny, and heartfelt moments of growing up, Complicamp! is a spirited story about friendship, change, and learning that sometimes the best summers are the ones that go completely off-script.
