For every parent who's ever received a letter from a homesick child or
anybody who's ever written their parents with crazy requests from their
bunk*, P.S. I Hate It Here: Kids' Letters From Camp* will delight with
hilarious and heartwarming real-life letters.
In the bestselling tradition of nostalgic looks at classic rites of
passage, such as Camp Camp and Bar Mitzvah Disco, P.S. I Hate It
Here: Kids' Letters from Camp captures a childhood experience shared
by millions. This collection of real letters written by children ages
eight to sixteen to their parents about their adventures at summer camp
are laugh-out-loud funny and will have readers reminiscing about their
own camp days.
More than 150 letters cover all the imaginable scenarios of sleep away
camp, from acing the cabin lice inspection, to rowing in the "ricotta"
race, to breaking the bad news about a retainer lost in the wilderness.
These letters reveal that kids are wittier and more sophisticated than
we might assume, and that the experience of being away from home for the
first time creates hilarious and lasting memories.
*Inspired by her daughter's melodramatic rants from camp, Diane Falanga
