About this listen

Two sisters scramble to save their family’s legacy in a funny, huge-hearted novel about grandiose plans and summers to remember by the author of I Thought You Said This Would Work.

Cat McCarthy has spent years extricating herself from the family business—an increasingly run-down theater camp—and all the drama contained within it. At thirty-seven, she’s putting the final touches on a new life as she renovates her dream cottage and awaits her first child. Does it worry her that the McCarthy legacy is in the hands of her disastrously irresponsible sister, Ginger? Sure. But the camp’s not Cat’s problem anymore.

Then a series of frantic text messages pulls Cat back to center stage. Ginger has handed the reins to a crackpot motivational speaker, Bob Durand, and his scheming wife, Elaine. The couple’s plan to rebrand the camp as a “rehab” for anxious adults has nearly bankrupted the McCarthys. And now the Durands have skipped town days before investors arrive for a fundraising gala that could determine the camp’s future.

As Cat and Ginger wrangle a cast of lovable misfits and underdogs to save the camp, the sisters rediscover the importance of family, belonging, and holding fast to sweet summer memories.

Critic Reviews

“A fun and engaging read from start to finish, Bummer Camp showcases author Ann Garvin’s exceptional sense of humor, originality, and storytelling craftsmanship. Highly recommended…”—Midwest Book Review

“Ann Garvin’s Bummer Camp is for anyone who’s ever spent any time in a cabin or making lanyards or being bitten by mosquitoes while walking in a piney woods. It’s the funny, insightful story of two sisters who must band together to save their family’s legacy, a summer camp in danger of being dismantled by the bad guys. Garvin’s trademark humor and insight shine through every page, in all the quirky characters. Don’t miss it. You’ll laugh out loud.”—Maddie Dawson, Washington Post bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners

“After finishing Bummer Camp, I see why Ann Garvin is so beloved. Ann is a fabulous storyteller, a master writer, and just plain very funny.”—Bob Eckstein, New York Times bestselling author of Footnotes from the Most Fascinating Museums
