5.0 out of 5 stars HOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWL!!, February 10, 2001

This review is from: Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp (Bailey School Kids #2) (Paperback)

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!

This review is from: Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp (Bailey School Kids #2) (Paperback)

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.
