Camp Murder
Book Review
What I also liked is the way the speech felt so real! It made me think this book was a real story that actually happened
This book was so good!!! I knew I would like it as soon as I saw it. It took me 1 and a half days to read it because it was so hard to put down. I love murder mystery books and this one made me like them even more because it was so interesting! When I normally read books like this I figure out the murderer so easily but this actually puzzled me.
The chapters are long but I like it because it means I can read for longer! Georgia and her friends are trying to figure out how a fatal accident happened and if it was deliberate or they just accidently died.
My favourite parts are when they think they know what happened but they are completely mistaken and they are clueless. I also like the scene because it is the perfect place to have a mystery, there are woods, secret shelters and mini cabins to try to figure out things. My favourite person is Wren because she is so smart, courageous and loves solving puzzles.
What I also liked is the way the speech felt so real! It made me think this book was a real story that actually happened. The way the characters spoke and the type of language was the exact way people speak these days.
It is important to be brave, determined and aware of what is happening around you. I think this should be for children 11+ and I would highly recommend it for anyone even if they don’t really like murder mystery books.
It made me read a lot more murder books including the series of ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ which I do recommend!
About the Book
With summer camp ahead this August for Georgia, Wren and Billy, the students of Mayfield Academy are looking forward to kayaking on the lake, trails through the woods and evenings round the fire.
But when someone at camp suffers a fatal accident, Georgia is convinced that there’s more to what happened than meets the eye. As she and her friends investigate, they find themselves drawn to the spooky water tower next to camp – the scene of an unsolved mystery from years ago.
Could there be a connection between this past event and the present-day murder? And is life at summer camp about to turn even more deadly?
