They was five main characters grandfather Alden, Henry, Jessie, Benny Violet.the grandfather would like to take them places.Henry loves to be the oldest out of the kids and he is a junior counselors.Jessie is another one of the counselor.Benny is a camper just liks Violet.The plot is that they are trying to find out the mystery at the camp and when they had try to figure it out; they did after all.the major events are that the Camp Seagull is on the beautiful Claw Island.Ireally had like this book after all.I'm not such a good reader but I do read when I do because that's is what you have to do.I think it is good but the favorite part I like is when they like the camp.It was complete to me and I believe you like it.the book was easy and is appropiatefor this assignment.
