Editorial Reviews

Review

A lively and funny story by award-winning (and extremely popular) children's author Jacqueline Wilson. Stella is determined not to enjoy her summer at a holiday camp, while her mum and new stepfather are on holiday, but finds herself having rather more of a good time than she expected. Wonderful illustrations by Sue Heap. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars an exciting book, March 24, 2004

This review is from: How to Survive Summer Camp (Paperback)

The novel is suitable for the ages from 11-15/16. "how to survive Summer camp" is a teenage book, especially for girls. It's good for these ages, because the author wrote about problems which are solved at the end of the story. It's a good example of how to handle problems for teenage-girls.
The story is about Stella, who can't stand the summer camp she has to attend while her mother and her new husband go on honeymoon a lot of exciting things happen, which make the book very good. One of my favourite events from that book is how Stella wants to make friends and be nice, while other girls are treating her badly and giving her names like "BALDY". I like the way she handels it all by herself and without her relatives or any other friends. I also like her ignorance when the other girls annoye her. The book is very exciting and shows a lot of feelings.

This review is from: How to Survive Summer Camp (Eagle Books) (Hardcover)

I loved the book, "How to Survive Summer Camp". It was original, humorous, and right on the dot with feelings. I love all Jacqueline's books; right now my favourite is "Girls Out Late", which is the 3rd in the "Girls In Love" series for older readers. So, if you love a good book, read this, and all the others. Really! You wont be disappointed.
