People change, and the Camden kids are no exception. But sometimes change can be more difficult than a Camden expects. Lucy wants to be less superficial, so she joins a group that helps others in need. But juggling a social life with social work can be pretty tricky stuff. Meanwhile, Matt's moved out and Reverend Camden is recovering, so Simon declares himself "the man of the house." But with little Ruthie to control, can Simon keep the house from crumbling?

The Camdens are on vacation! Well, sort of. They’ve agreed to help a ranching family convert a failing ranch into a dude ranch–so they’ll have to feed horses, drive cattle, fix buildings, and even doughpunch (whatever that means)! But not all the members of the ranching family appreciate the Camdens’ help. Lucy wants to get closer to handsome, brooding Luke, who resents anything smelling of charity. Meanwhile, Simon and Ruthie are off to find a hidden treasure!

Mary Camden is working as a lifeguard at a fabulous beach resort, and she’s invited her siblings to visit her. What could be more perfect? But this idyllic resort town holds secrets. . . . First, Mary’s friend disappears from the beach during Mary’s watch. Then, Mary gets blamed for a burglary. Can the Camden kids get to the bottom of the mystery and clear Mary’s name?

Like other modern parents, Eric and Annie Camden are coping with their kids' childhood traumas and adolescent rites of passage: Simon wants a dog, Mary wants a tattoo, Ruthie's starting school, and Lucy has her first crush. In this warmhearted, entertaining novel, the Camdens pull through for better or for worse — with a strong sense of humor and an even stronger sense of family.
