I like the school setting a little better, but hard to complain about a summer camp. I was thrown off that this was self-contained (unlike the first three/the original trilogy...) and I could've enjoyed more of the original timeline to add some meat, but I still just enjoy these characters and the writing. Just fun.

This book was so good, I love these characters and I loved the experience of reading as always!!

I also was able to guess that Patty did something really early on, so I'm very proud of myself :)
