Description

Hailey Twitch wants to have fun, fun, FUN!

Hailey has a secret. She has a friend named Maybelle that no one else can see. Hello, long weekend! Hailey is going camping with her best friend and her magical sprite. They will get to eat delicious ooey-gooey marshmallows. It will be the best weekend ever! Only one thing can ruin their fun: Maybelle's out of control magic.

Can Hailey stop Maybelle from giving them itch, itch, itchy poison ivy?

"This winning series depicts one youngster's balancing act between her sweet and spunky sides and provides a welcome resource for kids waiting for the next Clementine or Moxy Maxwell." —Kirkus

Praise for Hailey Twitch and the Campground Itch

My daughter and I are looking forward to the other books in this series!" — Dad of Divas" — Dad of Divas

"With fun and quirky illustrations by Suzanne Beaky and a delightful story by Lauren Barnholdt, Hailey Twitch and the Campground Itch is a wonderful story for summer reading.
