Reviews

"During a stormy night at Camp Dakota, the young campers learn about sound and thunderstorms. When Braelin and Megan wander away from everyone else at the lake shore and take shelter from more rain, they hear ghostly sounds, but are they hearing ghosts or something else While readers might pick up this entry in the Summer Camp Science Mysteries series for the fun story and Torres' appealing artwork, they'll also learn quite a bit about sound and might be inspired to try some of the easy experiments at the back of the book." --Booklist Online

"Megan arrives at Camp Dakota excited about the summer, especially riding horses. When the camp's cuckoo clock goes missing, however, her keen scientific observations help crack the case. This graphic novel features colorful, manga-influenced cartoon illustrations and a relatively short narrative focused on different events illustrating several gravity-related concepts and scientific principles. While the story will not necessarily engage a wide range of readers, its relatable tween characters and summer camp setting will certainly appeal to middle grade readers with an eye for science. Specific scientific principles are explained in succinct, easy to understand language at the end of each episode; back matter includes science experiments readers can conduct, a brief glossary, and an explanation of the scientific principles underlying the mystery's solution. These will have particular interest to libraries looking to supplement their STEM collections with well-done graphic novels." --BayViews
