Caitlin is a little girl with big ideas and a plan to help her reach her goal. She wants to prove she is strong enough to go with the older campers on a three-day backpacking adventure. Will Caitlin be allowed to go? And if so, will she be able to do the full three days? Tagalong Caitlin is a fun read-aloud book for younger children and is easily read by children ages 7 and up. This early chapter book, the first in the Caitlin series, will be especially enjoyed by children who love summer camp or who will be going to camp for the first time. Marion Coste, award winning author of seven children's books, says, "Tagalong Caitlin is about growing up, about setting a goal and working to get there, and about sticking to it when the going gets tough. Young readers will love the outdoor setting and enjoy Caitlin's 'can-do' attitude as she tries to become just like the other campers."
