This is such a fun book. It reminds me so much of the mystery stories I loved so much as a kid. The mystery here was much different than the one from the first novel, but it was equally as interesting.
The stories are very well written and easily enjoyed by a wide range of people. I like the summer camp feel this one has. It reminds me of all of my camping adventures growing up and how I always wanted some mystery of my own. I'm not sure I would like being treated as poorly as Sam and Ally are, but at least they are able to help their new friends and the camp.
This is such a fun read. I will definitely recommend it to my nieces and nephews and anyone who wants to revisit their childhood imaginations. Lots of fun and not overly predictable for the intended age group.

As with the first book, I enjoyed reading it.
My greatest criticism would be the author's habit to start some of the chapters with a past tense what-happened-inbetween introduction before going back to her present tense narration, something I always find jarring.

Sam and Ally's second adventure. This time they are excited to go to camp where they will be able to swim and go horse riding, as well as making some new friends. However the reality isn't quite as expected. The camp leader seems to have it in for Sam from the beginning and they start to find clues that something very strange is going on.
