Hey everyone! I'm beyond pumped to share a review of Surviving the Midnight Hurl at Camp Whurl by J.J. Johnson and Descendant Publishing! It's a solid five stars from me--but here's more info about the book!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Four days into church camp, Buzz McNeil is finally settling in...
until kids start puking like extras in a zombie movie.
It's fast. It's gross. And it's spreading.
Everyone calls it a stomach bug. Buzz isn't so sure. Not when the new lunch lady never blinks.
Not when she smiles as things get worse. And definitely not when the mystery meat seems to stare back.
Teaming up with a sarcastic sci-fi nerd, a perfectionist rule-follower, and a gadget genius, Buzz starts digging into Camp Whurl's secrets: hidden cameras, locked doors, and trackers disguised as wristbands.
But when chaos erupts in a night campers will never forget, Buzz realizes the truth:
They're not just trying to survive camp.
They're part of the experiment.

MY REVIEW
Friends, courage, and gross stuff...CAMP WHURL is meaningful, fun, and packaged in a hilarious, fast-paced, and compelling story that young readers, especially boys with a penchant for the gross and mysterious, will love. Buzz's narration is fantastic, the supporting cast really jumps off the page and are easy to imagine. Plus, faith elements are present and powerful without being boring or preachy. It's engaging for young minds, entertaining for grownups too, and the storyline is fun with a hint of deeper waters in the mix. It made me laugh until I cried. The illustrations are gorgeous! The cover is even more crisp in person, and I cannot recommend this book enough. Even better, it's part of a series--which leaves you wanting more after you've turned the last page! Fans of sci-fi and cool gadgets (without the extra word count) will want to read this ASAP.
