Darla Decker Takes the Cake

Being a teenager is complicated when you’re only eleven, but I am soooooooo ready for the challenge. A week at Camp Wakonda is exactly what Darla Decker needs. Having said goodbye to sixth grade and her best childhood friend, she’s ready to create new memories and meet new people. Unfortunately, entering summer camp on a whopper of a lie and a fight with a fellow camper isn’t the best way to begin. Aided by her schoolmate Nate, Darla navigates the twists and turns of life at summer camp while pretending to be Wakonda’s only “undercover counselor.” Despite the lies, older guys, bullies, and breakdowns, Darla discovers the truth about friendship through the mayhem and magic of camp. “Every now and then you get the chance to connect with a book, to find a story and a group of characters that tickle all the happy, nostalgic parts of your brain and takes you back to places you thought were gone forever.” ~ C.

Darla Decker Hates to Wait

Patience is for people without worlds to conquer. I’m practically a teen, and I have ZERO patience. Surviving sixth grade is tough enough with an annoying older brother, a best friend acting distant, and schoolwork. After adding instructive kissing games and the torturous wait for a real date with her biggest crush, Darla is perpetually torn between behaving like an adult and throwing temper tantrums. Games of flashlight tag, and the crazy cat lady roaming Shiloh Farms in a “demon bus,” serve as distractions during her parents’ quarrels and her anxiety about show choir auditions. Yet the more Darla waits for her adulthood to begin, the more she learns that summoning patience won’t be the hardest part of being eleven. “This novel has the potential to be to a modern audience what [Judy] Blume’s works were to girls of the 70s and 80s, and its blunt honesty and relevant topics make it the preferable choice.” ~ AvidEye EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a frank and funny look at the path to adulthood, in the first book of the “Darla Decker Diaries” series, which takes us on a journey of love, loss, and the nitty-gritty of growing up as seen through Darla Decker’s eyes. [DRM-Free] “In Darla, McHugh has created a character that is dynamic and interesting and while I don’t pretend in any way to really know the mindset of a young, pre-teen girl, I read the prose and I feel like I am hearing the voice of a child. Not the perfected, cartoonized version of a child, not as simple fodder for the story, but as a genuine, three-dimensional, real child.” ~ C. Clark, Author

Darla Decker Shakes the State

Cigarettes, shoplifting, and show choir.... I’m sure it will be a doozy of a 7th grade! Seventh grade starts on a hopeful note when Darla Decker and the Fairmount Fifteen are invited to the State Show Choir Competition at Coaster Kingdom. Although she’s made a no-dating bet with Nate, she’s jealous of her friend Reggie’s cell phone, and her parents are constantly at each other’s throats, Darla remains determined to make seventh grade the best year ever. Will the temptation of raising mischief be too strong for Darla? In the race to act like an adult, will she stay on the straight and narrow, or will she convince herself that bad deeds aren’t bad if done for the greater good? “Between the annoying older brother, mostly supportive parents with their own problems, and all the anxiety of early puberty, Darla reminded me of my earlier teenage years in an almost uncomfortably realistic way (which is a high compliment).” ~ Kimberly Lacey EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a frank and funny look at the path to adulthood, in the third book of the “Darla Decker Diaries” series, which takes us on a journey of love, loss, and the nitty-gritty of growing up as seen through Darla Decker’s eyes. [DRM-Free] “Once again McHugh delivers with this coming-of-age series. It definitely hits you right in the feels over and over!” ~ Mad Mae
