A quite enjoyable 3rd installment to this fun MG series. This time around the kids end up at camp for the week and with secret crushes, Mother Nature, and a some unexpected "changes" in the works, they have they're hands full! Oh, did I mention the mysterious Mountain Man who is suppose to inhabit the area around the camp? Yeah...best if they steer clear of the words after dark. Recommended read for fans of the MG genre, whether young or young at heart, there is fun to be had in this series. Happy reading! ( )

The Little Bookworm

Zee and her science class, including all of the Beans, are off on a wilderness class trip! Zee is trying to figure out what's up with her friends, including BFF Ally, Jasper, and her crush Landon. Everyone is acting funny and Zee just wants everyone to get along.

This series gets better with each book. I love the way Zee is so real and the issues are exactly right for middle grade girls: crushes, best friend fights, fitting in, periods, etc. I remember all those things being so important at that age and I would have loved this series back then. I actually really enjoyed reading it now. Zee and her friends get into real and often humorous situations and the illustrations are so cute. I'm actually looking forward to the next book. This is a great series! ( )
