An intriguing mystery starring an equally intriguing cast
Tim Harris, author of MR BAMBUCKLE'S REMARKABLES
With a cast of extraordinary kids with fantastical powers, THIS CAMP IS DOOMED is a deliciously spooky mystery, filled with magic, mischief and mayhem that will have readers giggling one minute and gasping with shock the next. Loved it.
Sue Whiting, author of the PEARLY AND PIG series
A funny, clever mystery about a school camp that starts out as a nightmare – and gets worse!
Allison Tait, author of THE FIRE STAR
A cosy blend of whimsy, friendship and super powers, this mystery will keep you guessing until the very end!
Alison Evans, author of EUPHORIA KIDS
Anna Zobel turns her knack for writing emotionally intelligent, likeable, mildly eccentric, diverse characters to the task of creating an engrossing adventure-mystery story for imaginative readers . . . Whimsical, a tiny bit spooky, affirming, engaging, sincere, insightful and occasionally funny
Anica Boulanger-Mashberg, Books + Publishing
A thoroughly eventful read. From kids struggling to control their newfound magical powers and navigating social relationships, to possible ghost sightings and a spooky Grandma cook, to mysteries to solve and dangerous, suspenseful moments, there is plenty of action to keep the reader turning pages . . . I recommend it for a middle grade age group (about 11-13 years old) especially those who enjoy adventure stories with elements of magical realism and themes of friendship, finding courage and growing up.
Barbara Swartz, CBCA Reading Time
This fantasy is an enjoyable mystery elevated by the depth of the characterisation and the inventiveness of the created world.
