Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks? Avery and Becca, my "Chinese Sisters," that's who. We're not really sisters--we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we're nothing alike. I pretend like I don't know them. Which is not easy since we're all going to summer camp to "bond." So I'm stuck in a cabin with five other girls who aren't getting along, competing for a camp trophy and losing (badly), wondering how I got here...and where I belong.
