But this trip has as many bumps as the hills of San Francisco . . 1. Mia's camp is full of older kids, with famous relatives, fancy laptops, and major connections! Can she compete with just her pen and passion 2. Lupe's thinking about skipping ahead to college! Will Mia ever get a chance to just chill with her best friend? 3.
