Crossing Over

Stacy Davidowitz

There’s only one thing Melman loves more than soccer: her summers at Camp Rolling Hills. So she’s pumped to be back—until she realizes that her bunkmates have gone totally boy-crazy over the school year and want to plaster their cabin in pink. Pink posters, pink T-shirts … it seems the only not-pink thing in the cabin is Melman herself. That is, until she’s given a dare in front of the entire camp: wear a pink princess dress. For Three. Whole. Days. 
 
Steinberg’s summer gets off to a rough start, too, when his robot (usually his area of expertise) blows up during a camp-wide robotics contest. Steinberg might feel like a loser at home, but camp’s supposed to be his place to shine.  
 
Steinberg without robots? Melman in pink? The whole summer feels turned upside down! To set things right, Steinberg and Melman team up and hatch a failproof plan. The plan’s secret ingredient? Hamburgers. 
 
“Funny and sweet. It brought me back to those amazing summer camp summers.”—Michael Showalter, co-writer of Wet Hot American Summer
