Fun to read. One might call the narrators “punchy” (iykyk). I expect most cultural references will go over the intended audience’s heads as I, an adult, had to google a few myself.

Not to self, don't real kid books, unless they're fairytales.

I was so hopeful when I saw the cover and title for this book. It was sarcastic but just didn’t have a clean flow. Flip flopping POV between two main characters was fine but their voices ran together, and you’d have to remember who’s perspective is this?

This was a fun, little MG novel about a scary, haunted camp and solving a mystery and friendship. It was a lighthearted, quick, fun little read similar to R.L. Stine's books and the like.

A fun and spooky tale about a haunted summer camp in Ohio. The year is 1983, and Corryn and Tez arrive at Camp Sweetwater ready to forget about their disappointing everyday lives. A series of strange events prompt the two to investigate the macabre history of the camp and the century-old disappearance of three campers. Tez and Corryn make a good team, and plenty of teasing and 80s slang make their dialogue snappy and entertaining. The paranormal elements are spine-tingling and not too scary. The ending is rather abrupt and not entirely satisfying, but it does set the stage for a sequel. Bonuses: Tez and Corryn's visit the local library to research the camp, and their exploration of the haunted camp library!
