Have Pen, Will Travel — Ruth McNally Barshaw

One girl, one sketchbook.
One week with the world's most annoying relatives!

When Ellie McDougal's parents go out of town, she's forced to go on a camping trip with her aunt, uncle, cousins, and baby broker, Ben-Ben. Mosquitoes and poison ivy she can handle, but a week with crazy relatives? No way! Thank goodness she at least has her sketchbook for recording all the excruciating details.

Part graphic novel, part confessional journal, part wilderness (and family) survival guide, Ellie's story will resonate with young campers, vacationers, or any kid looking to curl up with a great read..
