Description:

Get ready for a monstrously good time in Camp Scream #1: Shriek Week, the laugh-out-loud, lightly spooky start to a new series perfect for fans of the Tales from Cabin 23 series. With black-and-white illustrations throughout and just the right mix of chills and chuckles, this is one summer camp you'll never forget!

Publishers Weekly raves that "c​​lassic kid-meets-monster mayhem and fast-paced narration pave the way for a goofy yet sincere adventure about learning how to fit in and finding the courage to stand out!"

Max and his best friend Kiana can't wait for their first-ever sleepaway camp. But when they arrive, there's one tiny surprise: they're the only humans... and everyone else is a monster! There are vampire bunkmates, werewolf counselors, and a mummy in arts and crafts.

With the big talent show just days away, Max and Kiana will have to navigate spooky surprises, creepy creatures, and ghoulish games. Can two ordinary kids survive a week at Camp Scream--and maybe even make some monster-sized friendships along the way?

Camp has never been this creepy--or this fun!

  • Expressive black-and-white illustrations on every chapter turn
  • Friendship, courage, and finding your place even when you feel different
  • Perfect for readers who like humor with a hint of chills
  • A fast-paced, highly illustrated format ideal for ages 7-10
  • The start of a monstrously fun new series
