Summary:

Girls can do a lot of growing up in a summer, and that is precisely what the young ladies of Camp Little Wolf plan to do. In addition to swimming, boating, and arts and crafts, the campers have arranger a private contest: who among them will be the first to lose her virginity.

Among the contestants are Ferris Whitney, smug, rich, and more than a little bit spoiled, and Angel Bright, the camp's scholarship winner, proud, tough, and defensive about her poverty. The two become opponents in a funny and touching fight for sexual sophistication, goaded on both by passion and peer pressure.

But on the way to womanhood, each is to learn a few important lessons - about friendship, personal responsibility, and love. Each will indeed go all the way - from child to adult.
