Ghost Camp (Goosebumps #45) by R.L. Stine

 Ghost Camp (Goosebumps #45) by R.L. Stine-118 pages

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

I enjoy reading Goosebumps for the juvenile books challenge. In this one, Harry and Alex take a bus to Camp Spirit Lake. As soon as they are dropped off strange things begin to happen. All the campers are acting strange and the camp director is strange, too. They're always trying to scare Harry and Alex in bizarre ways like sticking a fork in their neck and not bleeding or being injured at all. Harry and Alex begin to suspect that all the campers are ghosts and that one of the ghost stories told around campfire on their first night is very real. Are the campers ghosts? If so, what will happen to Harry and Alex? Will they escape unscathed? Overall, I enjoyed this one.

Out of My Heart by Sharon Draper

Out of My Heart by Sharon Draper 342 pages Melody faces her fears to follow her passion in this stunning sequel to the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling middle grade novel Out of My Mind. Melody, the huge-hearted heroine of Out of My Mind, is a year older, and a year braver. And now with her Medi-talker, she feels nothing's out of her reach, not even summer camp. There have to be camps for differently-abled kids like her, and she's going to sleuth one out. A place where she can trek through a forest, fly on a zip line, and even ride on a horse! A place where maybe she really can finally make a real friend, make her own decisions, and even do things on her own - the dream! By the light of flickering campfires and the power of thunderstorms, through the terror of unexpected creatures in cabins and the first sparkle of a crush, Melody's about to discover how brave and strong she really is. It was great to read about Melody again. I REALLY enjoyed the first book in the series. This book was not as suspenseful as the first one. I still enjoyed reading about Melody, but wish there would have been more to the story, it was very slow to start.

Scooby-Doo!: Camp Fear by Lee Howard

Scooby-Doo!: Camp Fear by Lee Howard-32 pages

I also enjoyed Scooby-Doo! growing up and chose to read a few of these picture books for this month's challenge. This one is about the Toxic Terror at Camp Kichihaha, where Scooby and Shaggy are camp counselors. The Camp Administrator wants to shut down the kids' camp and make a resort for adults, so the Toxic Terror shows up.

Bad Magic by Psuedonymous Bosch

Bad Magic by Psuedonymous Bosch - 393 pages

Clay hates magic.  Unfortunately he is given a magic book that turns into graffiti on the school wall.  He's punished by being sent to a survival camp on a deserted island.

It was interesting to read.  A completely new plot.  Great for boys in middle school.
