Ghost Scouts: Welcome to Camp Croak!
Taylor Dolan
When Lexie Wilde is dropped off at Scout Camp, little does she expect it to be full of zombies, werewolves and three-headed witches, who all become the best of friends. But Camp Croak is under threat from the charmingly foul Euphemia Vile, and they must all come together in order to succeed … the first in a new series, GHOST SCOUTS.
Lexie Wilde was pretty sure she was supposed to be joining the Happy Hollow Camp for Joyful Boys and Girls for the summer. So why did her Grams just drop her off under a big ol’ sign saying WELCOME TO CAMP CROAK? And is she really sharing a cabin with a werewolf, a skeleton, a fancy schmancy zombie and a baseball-hat-wearing ghost? Yep, looks like she is!
After earning some rather unusual Ghost Scout badges, Lexie becomes the best of friends with her new pals, and before long is one of the team. However, danger lurks as the dastardly Euphemia Vile has plans of her own. And when their beloved camp counsellors succumb to an odd sleeping sickness, Lexie and her new friends become suspicious … can they overcome the saccharine sweetness of their new Scoutmaster and save Camp Croak?
The first in a laugh-out-loud series for young readers, with hilarious integrated two-colour illustrations throughout.
Review

Feisty young Lexie Wilde is not looking forward to attending a joyful, fun-time camp for boys and girls. Fortuitously, she winds up at the spooky Camp Croak run entirely by witches! The energetic feminist Lexie has the perfect disposition for this intriguing camp – she’s an artful storyteller and a resilient individual who relishes a challenge. So, when a suspicious Scoutmaster appears, Lexie and her new-found friends – a werewolf, a ghost and a voodoo zombie – take matters into their own hands.
This is a madcap adventure about friendship, diversity and kindness and (just like Camp Croak) the illustrations on every page are a little wild and very zany. It is highly recommended for independent readers ages 7 and up who love wild and wicked stories peppered with a little supernatural. And, luckily, this is just the first in a series of hilarious Lexie adventures which continues with book two, Hullabaloo at Camp Croak!
