The My Country Cousins series is aimed at independent readers who want a stepping stone between early chapter books and full-fledged novels. The stories include:

• fast-paced, realistic plots
• likeable characters with humour and empathy
• short paragraphs and easy-to-read text
• lots of dialogue
• new words to build vocabulary
• illustrations to support text
• word count at the end of each chapter

In the third book, Camping at Coyote Creek, 10-year-old Gemma must face her greatest fear: sleeping in a tent in bear country. Her cousins assure her she will not meet a bear. But will she? Join Gemma and her cousins for another fun-filled adventure!
