Camp Sylvania is the perfect campy book to read this summer!
Maggie has just finished fifth-grade and is looking forward to going to Camp Rising Star with her best friend after being on the waitlist for years, but her parents throw a wrench in her highly anticipated summer plans by sending her to fat camp. Maggie is devastated, but nothing— not even reading her dad’s underground zombie and vampire novels — can prepare her for what the incredibly weird camp experience has in store for her.
Camp Sylvania, previously known as Camp New Beginnings is run by the famous influencer known as Sylvia Sylvania who is working on a patent for her new diet, the Scarlet Diet. The campers are given mandatory weigh-ins, exhausting workouts under the awful heat of summer, trips to the blood bank for a minimum for four blood donations, and all the food is RED!
Though weird, as Maggie begins making friends and even getting a role in the camp musical, she realized that she’s actually having some fun. That is until campers mysteriously go missing and she finds that out some news that changes everything.

Very cute middle grade “horror” novel. Interesting take on vampire lore—the counting issue reminded me of fae and how to distract them .
