The extraordinary - and extraordinarily powerful -
follow-up to Hey, Kiddo. When Jarrett J. Krosoczka was in high
school, he was part of a programme that sent students to be
counsellors at a camp for seriously ill kids and their families.
Going into it, Jarrett was worried: wouldn't it be depressing, to
be around kids facing such a serious struggle? Wouldn't it be grim?
But instead of the shadow of death, Jarrett found something else at
Camp Sunshine: the hope and determination that gets people through
the most troubled of times. Not only was he subject to some of the
usual rituals that come with being a camp counselor (wilderness
challenges, spooky campfire stories, an extremely stinky mascot
costume), but he also got a chance to meet some extraordinary kids
facing extraordinary circumstances. He learned about the captivity
of illness, for sure but he also learned about the freedom a safe
space can bring. Now, in his follow-up to the National Book Award
finalist Hey, Kiddo , Jarrett brings readers back to Camp Sunshine
so we can meet the campers and fellow counselors who changed the
course of his life.
