She's returning to Summertime Chinese Culture, Wellness, and Enrichment Experience (SCCWEE for short and \"Squee\" to campers in the know), and this year she's a senior camper. That means she; her best friend, Lyrica Chu; and her whole Squad will have the most influence. It almost doesn't matter that her brother is a CIT (counselor-in-training) and that her mum and auntie are the camp directors. Time spent at Squee is sacred, glorious, and free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the day Phoenny arrives, though, she learns that the Squad has been split up, and there's an influx of new campers this year. Phoenny is determined to be welcoming and to share all the things she loves about camp—who doesn’t love spending hours talking about and engaging in cultural activities? But she quickly learns how out of touch she is with others' experiences, particularly those of the campers who are adoptees. The same things that make her feel connected to her culture and community make some of the other campers feel excluded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSummer at Squee\u003c\/em\u003e turns out to be even more transformative than Phoenny could've imagined, with new friendships, her first crush, an epic show, and a bigger love for and understanding of her community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487551013100,"sku":"9780593111338","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/960b1dd68583d93019483513f81641c7.jpg?v=1775774424"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/andrea-wang.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
