Why read it?

1 author picked Camp Scare as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this middle-grade novel because it reminded me of all the scary stories I binge-read as a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s. There’s a summer camp with a dark secret, mean girls, and a possible ghost.

This book is very fun and left me feeling so nostalgic. I also related a lot to the protagonist, who, as a young girl, tries so hard to make friends but has such trouble with it. 

This book inspired me to start working on a ghost story of my own!
