When school is out, many parents are not sure what to do with their teenagers for the summer. In Magic Eraser and Camp Real Sarah wanted her parents to let her be free for the summer. She was trying to convince them to respect her plans for the summer. She felt like her parents don"t even know who she is or what she likes. Sarah"s parents wanted her to develop her mind and body so that she can be successful in life. This couldn"t be done by playing video games and just hanging out with her friends. In the Magic Eraser and Camp Real, Deborah makes a clever attempt to show parents and their teenagers that everyone is born with their own talents and skills. These skills and talents can"t be transfered to others. The teenagers in this book must accept and develop their own skills and talents so that they can be successful within themselves and the world. The Magic Eraser and Camp Real not only helped Sarah and her parents discover and accept Sarah"s skills and talents but also helped the parents and teenagers from around the world discover and appreciate their skills and talents.
