This first short story collection in the Shimmering Lake Summer Camp series sheds light on the lives of the 2018 and 2019 campers, delving into their childhoods and exploring their futures in chronological glimpses. Join the campers as they narrowly miss (and not quite miss) encounters with kelpies, attend a first pride parade, meet another werewolf in an unexpected place, move into new homes, and experience the difficulties and wonders of their lives. Through everyday actions to intense life-changing moments, these stories explore how this group of young adults navigate the changes of a global pandemic and the challenges that come with growing up.
