Description
There's a thief at Camp Wild-in-the-Woods, and it's up to Dawn Bosco to catch her!
Dawn Bosco and Jill Simon are going away to Camp Wild-in-the-Woods for the first time. There will be horseback riding and swimming and walks in the woods and cookouts with marshmallows.
But the other girls at camp, the ones from the Coolidge School, don't seem very friendly. And then someone steals Dawn's mirror and special pin, the ones her grandmother gave her. Dawn's summer will be ruined if she doesn't find the thief-and soon!
