Welcome to Camp Croak! (Ghost Scouts)
by Taylor Dolan (Author)
An exciting new chapter book series for fans of The Notebook of Doom series, in which a little girl's plans for summer camp switch from sunshine and makeup to zombies and ghosts--in the best way possible.
What do you do when you are dropped off at a summer camp for monsters?
Summer camp involves all the things that Lexie hates--sunshine, smiling, and sports. But luck seems to pass her way when her grandmother takes a wrong turn and accidentally drops her off at Camp Croak, a creepy campground based in a Kraken-filled bayou that is run by conjoined triplet witches. Now Lexie is bunkmates with an anxiety-ridden werewolf, a grumpy living skeleton, and a tiny ghost who will do anything to protect her friends.
Lexie learns to love her new camp and is just starting to fit in, when a monster-hating, beauty-pageant-obsessed counselor shows up . . . and she's determined to close Camp Croak! Can Lexie and her friends save the day before Scoutmaster Vile ruins everything?
Taylor Dolan invites readers to the hilarious world of Camp Croak of the Ghost Scouts. Welcome to Camp Croak! includes her stylized, fantastically funny two-color art.

In the spirit of Lemony Snicket, Lexie--"the very best number one storyteller in Shreveport"--warns readers that they might be scared to learn that paranormal entities are real. She then chronicles the harrowing tale of how Grams signed her up for Happy Hollow Camp for Joyful Boys and Girls. Yet "somehow, something went very wrong": rather than dropping her off at Happy Hollow Camp, Lexie's gram leaves her at Camp Croak, a summer program for supernatural creatures run by a three-headed witch. At first, Lexie is scared she'll be eaten for dinner. Much to the mortal human's relief, Lexie instead befriends her cabinmates: a werewolf named Emmy LouLou, a skeleton named Bébé, a small ghost named Sweet Boo, and a zombie named Mary Shelley. Together, they earn Camp Croak badges, play games, and learn about their innate skills and powers both supernatural and mundane. Dolan's quick-witted first-person narration highlights Lexie's vigilance, creativity, and deepening love for her new friends. Intermittent lists of rules, ingredients, and more are rendered via scratchy black, white, and yellow illustrations throughout, adding to the creepy atmosphere. Character skin colors match the white of the page. Ages 6-10. (July)
