Dear Kelly, They really, really hate me!

Mookie arrives at Camp Cartwright and quashes any hopes of being cool or even accepted. Late at night, after Fanny has fallen asleep, the girls tell Mookie the legend of the Lady in the Lake and the girl who went missing from camp 25 years ago. Is it not Mookie’s responsibility as a budding young reporter to get to the bottom of this? If she can’t be at journalism camp this summer, she decides to bring journalism to camp instead.

Dear Kelly, I have made zero human friends.

Director Sue insists that Mookie halt reportage and “make friends”, which seems easier said than done. Worst of all, Director Sue has spoken the five worst words in the English language: “it’s the swim test today”. Not eager to get in the lake where The Lady is lurking around, hungry for a legacy camper; Mookie decides to follow Director Sue’s directive by including other campers in her investigation.

Dear Kelly, The Lady is real and out to get me.

Mookie starts to make leeway on her investigation, only to be sidetracked by a trip off camp to the Umbrella Cover Museum. Good news is that she finds two kindred spirits in fellow camper Carter Ruben-Rubens and Ned, the friendly camp handyman. Less great news is that according to some stupid bus game, Mookie is apparently going to get married in a paper bag while driving an ice cream truck.

Dear Kelly, I have a lead!

The annual Camp Cartwright talent show has all the campers abuzz. While the other campers practice "Don’t Phunk with My Heart" on the recorder, Mookie has located the camp archives but needs to find a way to get a look at them. The talent show is a nuisance, but it could be the perfect diversion for a proper investigation if only it didn’t mean missing Princess Nastya’s traditional Liechtenstein Polka.

Dear Kelly, it happened...AGAIN.

Suspicious activity abounds. Another girl has disappeared from Camp Cartwright, and Mookie is convinced that something awful has happened to her - and that it has something to do with the Lady of the Lake, who seems to be sending her a message. To make matters worse, Director Sue is hiding something. Coincidence? Mookie thinks not.

Dear Kelly, I am living in a campus of LIES!

Mookie thought Director Sue cared about her making friends when actually she’s been covering up a conspiracy. Instead of being able to uncover the identity of a sea demon, Mookie is stuck in rehearsals. She has been cast as Rolfe in a Nazi-less production of The Sound of Music. She would like to run lines with Carter if only he were speaking to her. But nothing will distract Mookie Hooper. Especially after a helpful clue arrives in the mail.

Dear Kelly, I think I’m in trouble.

After kinda sorta ruining the play, Mookie gets an earful from Director Sue, who is still clearly covering a secret, and Mookie can tell it’s a biggie. The clues are piling up, and so are the distractions. Color War breaks out, and all the campers are freaking. Perfect. Another chance for Mookie to prove her coolness with athleticism and agility. But then she finds herself atop a truly unexpected triumph. Maybe this camp thing isn’t so bad after all.

Dear Kelly, I have been right all along!

The last week of camp is a good one. Not only does Mookie have friends, but she is closing in on the crux of the mystery when another camper goes missing. For real. What if she’s been murdered? As Mookie uncovers the identity of the Lady of the Lake, she realizes that not everything is how it seems, and some secrets are meant to stay hidden. That is, until she finds a note underneath her pillow.
