I can safely say without the slightest doubt, that today, most teenages and kids, and even adults, conisder the lack or the slowness of wifi to be a nightmare. In some cases, I am exactly the same: when I need to ask a friend what the homework was, or search up how many people liked my picture on instagram. Chariot?, by "Rose" Parkland, was absolutely brilliant. This story was definitely something I needed to read. It was about how a girl was asssigned to take care of 18 campers at Camp Kweebec in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. Each camper had different backgrounds and needs, such as diabetes and Asperger Syndrome. the main character had always been particularly skilled at building chariots for races, but now she was trying to "build" a relationship between all the different girls in her group, that was even more complicated than building a chariot.

         I loved the ending when the main character's group made t-shirts that said, "There's no Wi-fi, but our connection is great!" this is such an inspirational story on teamwork and on working together.
