<p>Caitlin loves summer camp! She has spent every summer she can remember at camp with her mom, who is a counselor.&nbsp; This summer, Caitlin wants to join the difficult, three-day hike with the older girls. But Caitlin&rsquo;s mom says she&rsquo;s not old enough yet. Caitlin is determined to change her mom&rsquo;s mind and prove she is strong enough for the hike.&nbsp;&nbsp; Will Caitlin be allowed to go on the overnight hike? And if so, will she be able to do the full three days?</p><p><em><strong>Tagalong Caitlin </strong></em>is illustrated with&nbsp;a delightful selection of pencil and ink drawings, including four full page illustrations, one half-page picture, and more than a dozen small pencil vignettes that will be scattered throughout.<br />
Most delightfully, a charming lizard, meant to be one of the vignettes, developed a personality and we decided to use him as a kind of mascot.&nbsp; He greets the reader at the start each chapter giving one more reason to turn the pages.<br />

&ldquo;Tagalong Caitlin is about growing up; about setting a goal and working to get there, and about sticking to it when the going gets tough. Young readers will love the outdoor setting and enjoy Caitlin&rsquo;s &lsquo;can-do&rsquo; attitude as she tries to become just like the other campers.'&nbsp;&nbsp;Marion Coste, award winning author of seven children&rsquo;s books.&nbsp;</p>
