There’s also a teeny element of mystery with the map and as readers learn more about the developer threatening the camp and his family. The treasure map Ryanna finds adds a bit more structure to the plot and gives the kids a reason to adventure and work together. I also liked that the camp was unscheduled for the kids so they could spend the day as they liked for the most part instead of having a daily itinerary. This book had peak summer vibes and I loved reading the history of the camp and learning about Ryanna’s mother through the stories from the other family members. But when she discovers that the campgrounds will be torn down by a developer, Ryanna and her cousins have to band together to save the day. After a rocky start, she starts to learn more about her mom, even discovering a treasure map she created as a kid and reading the detective novels she used to enjoy. Ryanna goes to camp hoping for a low-key situation where she can spend time in peace and quiet with her grandparents but is surprised to find a slew of aunts, uncles, and cousins at Camp Van Camp. The Firefly Summer follows young Ryanna who gets sent to a family summer camp with her her mother’s extended family - who she hasn’t seen since her mom died when she was three.
