Camp Midnight by Jason Katzenstein, Steven T. Seagle
3.0
Rating; 3.5/5
Nowadays I am finding it hard to discover middle grade novels/graphic novels that have a deep and slightly more complex plot. I am pretty sure kids these days are smart enough to understand a little more complicated story lines.
Camp midnight could’ve been so good had the writers tried to give the characters and the plot some depth and mystery. Basically Skye gets sent to the wrong summer camp by her evil stepmonster mother. And this camp just happens to be the one where monsters attend every year.
I seriously would’ve loved it if there had just a little more development on the existence of monsters or on the relationship between her father and her stepmother.
Although the thing I really loved was the relationship between Skye and Mia who happens to be a wonderful character. She perfectly complements Skye, has a greater backstory than the other characters and is spunky and gentle at the same time.
But I could guess most of the plot right from go. The fact that Mia is a ghost or that the camp kids would accept Skye despite her being a human was pretty much predictable.
As for the art I liked it in some places but in some panels it just got too overcrowded and was hard to follow. But I would’ve have definitely love to see this story as a more developed series or a longer novel cause there was so much potential to the story.
