Seventeen -year-old Jenna may hail from the burbs of New Jersey but Green Teen activism is her life. So when her mom suggests they spend the summer at Grandmas Florida condo Jenna pleads to visit her hippie godmother Susie up in rural Canada. Jenna is psyched at the chance to commune with this nature she's heard so much aboutand the cute plaid-wearing boys she's certain must roam there. But after a few unpleasant run-ins with local wildlife (from a moose called Madge to Susie's sullen Goth stepdaughter to a hot but hostile boy named Reeve) Jenna gets the idea that her long-held ideals like vegetarianism and conservation don't play so well with this population of real outdoorsmen. A dusty survival guide offers Jenna amusing tips on navigating the wilderness and those who call it homebut can she learn to navigate the surprising turns of her heart?
