School is out, and Dad, Allison, and Ana head up into the pines for Junior Camp — a week of cabins and campfires, of cold mornings and the smell of pancakes on the wind. Allison arrives with a binder and a plan, ready to run the tidiest cabin at camp. But when a quiet new girl named Abigale appears in the doorway of Cabin Seven — knowing no one, unsure of every song and every routine — Allison discovers that the most important thing at camp is not the thing she prepared for. Through Ana’s effortless, headlong friendliness, Sister Beverly’s quiet example, and a campfire message from Brother Alexander, the Jones girls learn that you are never too young to be a light — and that sometimes the brightest thing a child can do is simply make room for one more. Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:12; Matthew 5:16 (KJV).
