Sarah hates having her picture taken, although she’s never told anyone why: For years, her dad took sexually exploitative photographs of her. Her dad is dead now, and all Sarah wants to do is destroy the pictures once she finds them. That’s hard to do from a distance, however, and she’s spending the summer at Camp Dog Gone Fun. Working at the camp for homeless and abused dogs is the community service sentence she earned when her mom’s boyfriend tried to take her picture with his new camera and she flipped out and stole a car. Trying to keep the past contained means not letting anyone see into her heart, but a dog named Judy and a boy named Sully make that a challenge, especially after Sarah’s mother discovers the photos and the past is no longer Sarah’s private torment. Heather Waldorf tackles this difficult topic with a narrative pitch-perfect in tone. Sarah’s voice is compelling for both its humor and its pain. A fine cast of supporting characters rounds out a compelling story that marks the hopeful start of Sarah’s healing.(Age 13 and older)
