Perfect for fans of Victoria Jamieson and Raina Telgemeier, this heartwarming middle grade graphic novel follows two nonbinary kids who navigate anxiety and identity while having fun and forming friendships at their summer orchestra camp.

After attending an incredible concert, Tate Seong is inspired to become a professional violist. There’s just one problem: they’re the worst musician at their school.

Tate doesn’t even have enough confidence to assert themself with their friends or come out as nonbinary to their family, let alone attempt a solo anytime soon. Things start to look up when Tate attends a summer orchestra camp—Camp Prodigy—and runs into Eli, the remarkable violist who inspired Tate to play in the first place.

But Eli has been hiding their skills ever since their time in the spotlight gave them a nervous breakdown. Together, can they figure out how to turn Tate into a star and have Eli overcome their performance anxieties? Or will the pressure take them both down?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Tate’s journey of gender discovery is delicately wrought and joyfully celebrated without major conflict. Bold, jewel-toned, manga-style illustrations propel the story forward with movement and expression...An immersive and affirming story that hits the right notes.” -- Kirkus Reviews ― 4/15/24

"Palmer employs cartoon-style illustrations alongside lessons surrounding individuality and teamwork to craft an effervescent and affirming debut graphic novel about contending with expectations and anxiety while cultivating an authentic sense of self." -- Publishers Weekly ― 3/11/2024

"Through thoughtful character development and a vibrant palette, Palmer crafts a narrative that resonates with the struggles and triumphs of finding oneself. This is a testament to embracing one's true self, reminding readers that acceptance knows no bounds. Relatable themes and captivating storytelling invite readers to join Tate and their friends on a journey of authenticity and belonging." -- Booklist ― 6/1/24

"The story speaks to many of the pressures that come with figuring out who you are and what you’re capable of. Palmer’s digital illustrations are packed with energy, frequently jumping back and forth between more detailed depictions of characters and simple comic-style doodles. Rich blends of reds, purples, and blues fill the backgrounds of each panel and page — a strong visual addition to this musical tale." -- The Horn Book Magazine ― July/August 2024

    I bought this for my 9 year old, who came out as nb last year. They play the violin, so this was absolutely perfect for them! They devoured the entire book the day they got it and said it was their new favorite. I loved reading it, too. I hope they come out with sequels!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic MG graphic novel!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024
    Camp Prodigy is a fun and heartwarming read by Caroline Palmer. I really enjoyed the story and messages, and the characters and representation are fantastic. I have a middle grade musically inclined daughter who is dealing with many of the struggles the characters in this GN are, so as soon as I finished, I had her read it, too. She loved it and went to school to recommend it to the librarian. I think the characters, illustrations, and themes of friendship, identity, boundaries, and being true to yourself resonated with both of us.

    The story follows Tate and Eli, two non-binary characters who both attend a camp for musical prodigies. Their growing friendship is a highlight of the story, and it's so lovely to see them both learning about and from each other. And the camp setting includes such a warm and accepting community of kids and adults. It's a positive backdrop to the story. I wish there were a place like that around here where I could send my middle-grader.

    The illustrations are fantastic too. The style is bright, bold, and fun, and so expressive. It flows well and captures the essence of the book perfectly. I would definitely recommend Camp Prodigy to middle grade readers and lovers of graphic novels. It's a heartwarming and touching story and the perfect read for Pride month! Special thanks to Simon & Schuster for sending me a copy of the book. All thoughts are my own.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Reaching for Dreams
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024
    This is a great book for older kids and teens, it covers a wide variety of subjects but the biggest one is the stress and anxiety that comes with accepting yourself and telling others about yourself when it is different then what they are used to. It also covers anxiety when you are doing something and starts to get competitive in whatever you are doing. In this story it focuses on a Nonbinary child who wants to get better at playing the viola and the pressure they put themselves under. We get to see their journey as they start to open up and allow others to be there for them. The art in this story is also very well done as well. I over all enjoyed this story.

    4.5/5

    I adore this book. I like that it shows different aspects of growing up and trying to be the best but also realizing that your best is good enough.

    Tate wants to become the best violinist they can be. They go to a summer camp to start learning more and get better. There they meet a prodigy that choked at their first big concert, Eli. Eli is the reason Tate wants to be great. Tate ends up asking Eli to show them the ropes and help them get better. There are also aspects of this story showing Tate coming to terms with their gender, dealing with people who aren’t the type of person you usually deal with, and just understanding if you are trying your best, you are doing your best.

    I love this story and how it goes about making you care for the characters and seeing them grow. I would recommend this to honestly anyone that has kids, and people who are kind of down thinking they aren’t achieving what they expect to be (all ages for that).

    Got through netgalley.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Non-binary Rep!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024
    I loved the setting of this book with middle grade kids figuring out who they are at a music camp. The artwork was exceptional, especially the scenes with music playing.

    The LGBTQIA+ representation was incredibly well done and positive. The characters' voices and personification was strong, and it was clear that they were each well-written and developed. Overall, I think this would be an amazingly positive book to give to middle grade kiddos.
