Family + Camp (working title) by OliviaBoler

It's 1990, and Penelope Annabelle Min-Yi Harte, known to her friends and family as Nell, is not at all thrilled to be starting over. It's the summer before her senior year-at a new camp. That's right: nearly all of her life, Nell's dad has run a summer camp in Oregon. Everything changes, however, when he's forced, for mysterious reasons, to find a new job at a camp in California. For the first time ever, Nell has to leave the only home she's ever known. The worst is she has to leave her friends, too, including her best friend (and maybe more than that?), Len Rodriguez. But the summer crew Nell meets at Camp Morgan offers some interesting possibilities, especially in the form of a boy named Cash Tilney. Maybe this move won't be the wrong one after all...

Camp for assholes by summer_angel2010

We are being sent to a camp for assholes. At least that's what Toby's calling it. Technically, it's the Hanson behavioural management camp. Why the both of us? Near the end of term 1 of year 11, I may or may not have had a minor breakdown in school and ended up hurting 9 people (myself and Toby included) but also broke five hundred dollars worth of school property. aka The story of two very in love dorks who are trying to figure out life while stuck at a shitty camp. How lovely.

Three months. One Summer. One boy. Lyla Taylor a girl who says whatever comes to mind ends up accidentally saying her principal looks like a parot, saying her neighbor does not have a husband because she is mean and grumpy, and many more to many people. But the final straw was when she said her aunt looks like she swallowed a watermelon not knowing she was pregnant causing her parents to send her to her grandmother's house for the Summer. She had never met her grandmother before because her mother left home when she fell pregnant with her at the age of Nineteen. What does this Summer have in store for Lyla? (This book is a work of fiction and the characters, the setting and many more come from my mind/imagination.)

"Yes?" "I- I um- well, you- I-" "Listen, kid, the campers' cabins are on the other side." He points behind him. "Now, move, yeah?" "That isn't it!" "Then what is it?" He still has that same bored tone. Finally, the words I've been meaning to say spill out. Well... kinda. "Y-you're in- wrong- I mean, the cabin! No! You're in the cabin wrong!" .˚ ༘✶ ⋆｡˚ ⁀➷ Summer Turner hasn't always had it the easiest. With her workaholic father never home and a little brother who has somehow become her responsibility, she decides she needs to get away. No service, no family issues, no problems. Just her, a cabin, and a couple kids to look after. Sounds like a fair trade to everything going on at home. Or so she thinks. editing soon :)

The Bad Boy's Broken Girl (Complete and Edited ) by alizahgirl234

"I didn't need your help." I snapped harshly. Alex laughed bitterly "Oh, right you wanted to be bullied, criticized and hit." he said sarcastically. I walked away but a hand pulled me back. "Just promise me to take care of yourself okay?" he said softly. I ripped my hand away roughly, "I don't have to promise you anything." I took off. Rebecca Woods has a bad past. Her Dad left her when she was a child, and her mom is in the hospital with cancer, and on top of that she is bullied at school, and her brother Ashton has to stop it (specifically Bethany Marsh) every time. Alex on the other hand is Washington High School's 'Bad Boy', he's arrogant and attractive, but people stereotype him for what he's really not, He is actually a really nice guy. One day the two bump into each other and Rebbeca's life will change forever. So see what happens when the two broken, confused teenagers meet. Will it bad or good maybe both? So join this crazy ride of tears, laughs, and a whole lot more.

*Sigh* That's my Dad by BrysonThomas

The modern outdoorsman...er...or woman. Such a confusing complicated, yet down to earth person. Some may seem more of a "confused and complicated" person. Whatever category they best fit in. What could have happened in that person's life to ever cause them to go over the edge? This book is a collection of short stories to help shed light on such a person. His victories! His defeats. His most proud moments. And his embarrassing foibles. And of course, his father. Who, at every opportunity, made it his personal mission to embarrass his children. Scare his wife. And of course, take all the credit of doing so in the process. This is my ongoing story. I hope you not only enjoy it, but can relate to those events. To the stories. To the man, the myth, the legend ... Dad. And stay tuned for more!
