Why aren't there more summer camp counselor novels?!? Camp Gray Wolf caters to teens with visual and audio impairments--deaf and blind kids, that is. Protagonist Lilah hasn't been to camp in years, but getting tired of what a struggle it is to not-quite get by in her mainstreamed life, she impulsively decides to apply to be a junior counselor, and even convinces her parents to send her younger brother, Max to go as a camper.
At camp, Lilah starts out just as frustrated trying to keep up with other counselors' fluent ASL, but she really wants to learn. She gets lots of support from fellow counselor Isaac, from whom she'd like a little more.
