In this, the second in the Bailey School Kids series, we are reintroduced to the gaggle of third graders who we first met in "Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots." In that book, our heroes became convinced that their new teacher from Transylvania was a vampire. Now, they're off to summer camp to meet a very strange--and especially hairy!--camp counselor.

An odd bird he is indeed. First off, he's THE hairiest person the gang has ever seen, but stranger than that is his taste for practically raw, cold hamburger, his habit of never wearing shoes and staying away from campfires. When he tells the story of how a young boy disappeared from the camp, hints at the possibility of werewolves around the camp, and when a mysterious, shaggy figure is seen running off into the night near the night of the full moon, the gang gets scared. As they say, something weird is definitely going on.

"Werewolves Don't..." is scarier than the first book in this series. Strange things happen at night, and when the gang strews wolfsbane and mistletoe around the counselor's cabin (two potent treatments for werewolves), he takes the day off sick, then shows up for coffee shaven, well dressed and with shoes: a totally different person! That night (the night of the full moon) the campers go for a midnight hike and things REALLY start getting hairy!

This book, like the others in the series, is both entertaining and engaging. In each book, it's never stated outright, in fact, that the main characters are really supernatural: a quick reader could argue that they're not and have evidence from the text to back up their opinion. The pace is fast, the action is creepy, so it's a book that is likely to hold just about any young person's interest, including reluctant readers. In fact, ESPECIALLY reluctant readers. Definitely a series worth checking out!

I would say this book is really fun to read.It has lots of sudden parts in it and it has some really good pictures in it.This really gives kids exciting idea about how mysterious this book can be.I think parents should read this book to children because this is a book your kid would love.I hope you like this book if you read this book too!!!

It's sort of like a mystery. It's four kids who go to camp and their camp director has a lot of hair so they are going to figure out if he is a werewolf or not! It's a really good book.

I THINK THIS BOOK IS VERY GOOD.IT IS EASY TO READ AND THE PLOT IS PRETTY GOOD.A COUPLE OF KIDS GO TO CAMP.THEY DISCOVER MAY JUST BE THE WEREEOLF LEGEND OF THE CAMP.THEY LOOK AT BOOKS TO KILL THE WOLFMAN.THEN THEY ALMOST FIBD A CURE BUT BOT QUITE.THEN THEY GO ON A HIKE WITH PART OF THE OTHER CAMP AND....WELL YOU GOTTA READ TO FIND OUT.

I bought six books from this series and noticed that they may encourage discrimination, or bullying, of overweight children.

From Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp
"Mr Jenkins reached out and pinched Liza's plump arm. 'And it looks like you need some exercise' he added."

From Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball
"As soon as his teacher turned away he pinched Liza's chubby arm."


In the other 4 titles, the authors leave Liza alone and instead call other children fat throughout the books. There is at least one mention of a child being fat in every one of the six I purchased.

I give this book five stars because it's the book that I actually wanted to keep reading. It was very interesting and it seemed to pull you into it.If you read it you would just want to read the next part. It's one of the best books I've read. Now I am reading the whole series.

The book that I have read is Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp . I have chosen this book because it is very mysterious and funny . The book is about four children, who are going to a different summer camp. I won't give the whole story away, but the only thing I can say is that I recommend it to kids in the 7th grade and higher.

Werewolves Don't Go To Sumer Camp is a great book that takes us on an adventure to summer camp. Howie, Eddie, Melody, and Lize run into some wolf problems as they arrive at camp Lone Wolf. On the first day of camp they met Mr. Jenkin, the camp director. The kids think he is a werewolf because he's hairy and he likes raw hamburgers. They make it through the long week and find out the scary truth.
I recommend this book because I like funny and scary books. I like picturing scary things.

My son is a reluctant reader and this was entertaining enough to keep him going without too much effort on my part. I think he will be more willing to read more from the Bailey School Kids set.

This book is so exciting you will laugh through the whole book. It is about this man who is a camp director, but the kids think he is a werewolf because he is so hairy. One day night the camp director was grilling hamburgers and the kids ate one. As soon as the kid bit in, red blood started coming out. So they went to go tell the camp director. He said "What is wrong with, it's good."

This book was telling me that what you think is not always right. Just because a person looks like that you always have to know the inside of them. Everybody should read this book it is teaching a lesson. So that is what I think about this book. READ IT!!!
