An enjoyable light read, although a bit slow in the first half. Less snarky than Terrible Two and less complicated than Great Greene Heist. Good for grades 3-5.

A fun heist/con story set at a rundown summer camp. I love heist/con stories when there's a compelling reason for the con. At the start, Archie and Vivian don't really have a reason other than "Because we can." It makes it hard to like them early on in the story. But when their feud blows up in their faces, they discover they are better together. The ending made me want to stand up and cheer. Lots to unpack in this story about what friendship means and how to build friendships. This would make for good discussion in a reading group/book club or for a classroom read aloud.

3.5 A fun read with boy/girl POV about 2 rival campers at a summer camp conning other kids out of their spending $. It’s a got a real Camp Nowhere vibe and perfect for fans of Under Locker and Key by Allison Hymas and Fourth Stall by Chris Rylander

What a great book for Middle Grade Readers! Camp Shady Crook is a fun, adventurous story of 2 kids' experience at camp and their budding friendship. I love that this book has main characters of both genders, that their friendship crosses those sometimes rigid gender lines. I look forward to recommending this book to young readers!
