There is a bat in Bunk Five

This book is about a girl who is going away to summer camp for the whole summer, because her friend, Mrs. Finney knew her and thought she should go to camp with her. The problem is that Marcy, the girl, has really weird parents who don't understand her... Marcy's father always yells at her and he just had a heart attack from smoking, which scared Marcy tons... Marcy's mother treats Marcy like she doesn't exist, or, when she does talk to her, she acts like Marcy is a three year old. Marcy's brother, Stuart, is really nice to Marcy, and actually treats her like a human being which is a nice change for Marcy...

I feel like this author, Paula Danziger, likes to write books about sad children who can't take care of themselves. Which I think is pretty cool.
