Mark Cheverton has written a book
that children today will be able to connect.
He has taken his main character Cameron, who suffers from anxiety, and
placed him in a summer camp. This isn’t any ordinary summer camp. That would
make anyone anxious. This camp has monsters and it is up to Cameron and his
friends to try to stop them from entering their world.
The world building is well done.
Any kid who has gone to any type of summer camp or watched movies with summer
camp will understand that for an outdoorsy person this is the best place to be.
For a kid who suffers with anxiety, maybe not so much. They will be able to identify with kids,
especially Cameron, being bullied. After all, they deal with or see things like
this all the time. What this book does
is shows what happens when someone steps up and faces their monsters. It shows
how strong they can be, especially with the help of some friends. It shows that
they don’t have to do things alone. What better lesson can one learn and in
such a charming, and fantastical way.
Well done. I look forward to reading the second book in this series.
