This is a fun summer romp with a bit of romance and a lot of love for blended families. The dads send them both to a camp, where they become closer but the dads become more distant. This book is about Avery and Bett, whose dads want them to be friends because they are dating. The girls are so disappointed when their dads break up, and they immediately start scheming to get them back together again. To Night Owl From Dogfish is a family bonding and funny fiction by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer. By the time they’re back in the country, they want nothing more to do with each other. The dads’ dream vacation quickly turns into a nightmare when they lose their luggage and passports, and the stress puts out the eager flames of their relationship. Soon they’re excited about spending time together – especially after they get kicked out of camp and have to spend the rest of the summer with Avery’s birth mother (a famous playwright) and Bett’s grandmother (Gaga) while they stage her newest production. As they continue to exchange messages, however, their attitudes about being friendly (maybe even friends) start to change. Built on a foundation of absurdity, coincidence and the occasional rather good one-liner, the novel manages the difficult balancing act of using increasingly.
They like things fine just the way they are. Bett Devlin and Avery Bloom first “meet” when Bett discovers that their dads are secretly dating, secretly sending them to a fancy schmancy summer camp, and secretly planning to explore China by motorcycle.
