A funny and emotionally resonant coming-of-age novel about one summer of momentous social and political change at a Jewish sleepover camp It's the summer of 2013 and 21-year-old Ruby, a counselor at Camp Burntshore, can't wait to supervise a rowdy cabin of 11-year-olds, smoke weed by the fire, and argue about which city make the best bagels. But when Brent, the camp owner's son, hires Israeli soldiers to deal with a staffing shortfall, Ruby, a committed anti-Zionist, must decide if she's willing to jeopardize her place at Burntshore to fight Brent over the contentious issues of Jewish belonging and settler colonialism, even as she finds herself falling in love with one of the soldiers, the sweetly handsome Etai. Soon it becomes clear that the conflict is not just about the camp's internal divisions but also about Burntshore's relationship with the neighboring Black Spruce First Nation, strained because of Brent's larger scheme to buy the Crown land...
