Paley has been having difficulty making friends and fitting in at her new school. She has retreated into her favorite computer game and her parents are set on stopping it. They send her to a summer ranch camp, where she and several other tweens work on their ability to connect with others. While learning the responsibilities of ranchers, the tweens come across a fossil and must work together to save it from those who would like to steal it.
This was a good children's novel. It only bugged me that children called each other kids.

Middle schooler Paley has been sent to Quartz Creek Ranch, a summer camp for troubled youth, to help break her addiction to a MMORPG game that has taken over her life. In this quick read, Paley realizes her strengths and gains confidence and lasting friendships.
Recommended for older elementary readers, or reluctant teen readers. The prose is easily read, but deals with complex emotions like forgiveness and empathy for those who hurt you.
