Just Like Me by Nancy J. Cavanaugh
3.0
Just because they were all adopted from the same orphanage in China at the same time doesn't mean that Julia has to have anything in common with Avery and Becca. She is glad that they live far enough away that they don't have to see each other all of the time. But now they have to spend a week together at sleepaway camp (the Christian camp that Becca & Avery have gone to for the past few years) for a newspaper story about adoption. When the three of them are thrown into a cabin with some girls that Becca & Avery have butted heads with in the past, the summer starts off on the wrong foot. But the camp competition is by cabin this year -- can the girls put aside their differences to work together towards winning? As Julia makes her way through the week, she realizes truths not only about herself, but about Avery & Becca as well. Based on the author's adopted daughter's experiences, this will appeal to students in grades 4 & up who are on a similar journey of self-discovery.
