My 9 yo boy loves this series so I gave this one a quick read and was very pleased. This particular book explores the problems of kids (boys in particular) as they try to firgure out how to behave when confronted with kids who seem 'cool' but are mean. The first day repeats itself for Jake until he gets it right. The first time he is mean to the oddball so he can be accepted by the 'cool' guys. The 2nd day he ends up starting a fight with the mean kids to defend the 'dork' they are picking on. The third day he gets it right by helping the 'dork' to stand up for himself and get the other kids who are standing by to unite against the two who really are mean, and force them to back off.

The book is written at just the right level for my 4th grader with a bit of humor and belevable dialogue. It amuses him and I am glad he gets an important message without feeling preached to.

I thoght this book was very well written. It is about a kid namd Jake Sherman. He is going to summer camp and when the first day is over he goes to bed. But suddenly he finds himself back in h first day of summer camp! This keeps happening to him for about six imes. He needs to find out what he needs to do to go on to the second day of camp. He thinks he figures it out, he tries it. Does it work? Will he ever be able to get out?

Jake Sherman has a problem. HE'S STUCK IN THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER CAMP!!!!! He's getting really tired of eating "Americam Chop Suey" [ anything that happens to be lying around is the kitchen drenched in tomato sauce]. Plus, he's got to choose beteween to hanging out with the cool guys or with Peter,the dork! But, can Jake ever get out...?

The book I read was Help I'm trapped in First Day of Summer Camp by Todd Strasser. I liked the story because the days keep repeating and each day it was funnier then the previous one. My favorite character was Josh. The story took place at camp and it was interesting because each day something different happened. I would recommend this book to other people because it was both funny and interesting.

Was fuunny. Person trapped in 1st day of summer camp. 6 days straight. READ IT!

I love Todd Strasser's books.I really love the Help! series.I plan to read all of his books in that series.When I read this book, I was into it trying to figure out what Jake has done wrong that he has to repeat the first day of summer camp.I would like to repeat a day of my life. To sum this book up I would say "Help! I'm crazy over these books!"

This book is about Jake Sherman. He doesn't want to
go to summer camp but his mom made him go. His friends don't want to go either but Jake's mom told their mom to go too. Jake's sister is very selfish because she took Jake's donuts. Then the bus arrives. Jake's friends' names are Josh and Andy.
While they are going to the camp, Jake sleeps. Then when he wakes up, the cool guys call him Sleeping Beauty. There is a dork named Peter that nobody likes.Jake, Peter, and the three cool guys share the same cabin. Everyone picks on Peter. The cool guys make Jake to pick on Peter too.
He puts a plastic bag on Peter's cup. Then the juice spills on him. He doesn't want to pick on Peter but he does it because he wants to fit in with the cool guys. Then when he sleeps and wakes up, he is on the bus again.He is trapped at camp. Then he knows what to do. He should teach Peter some self-defense
and everything will be back to normal.
He teaches him that. But he gets stuck for six days. Then Peter starts to defend himself. Then when Jake goes to sleep and wakes up, he is at the second day of camp. Everything went back to normal.

This book wasn't the greatest in this super series because it pretty much repeated itself ,however i still liked it.
