Review: DANIEL THE CAMP-ER by S.J. Henderson

Blurb

There are a few simple rules Daniel follows. 

Rule One: never let an adult see your weakness. Daniel made that mistake and look where he ended up—summer camp. 

Rule Two: never make fun of the person who feeds you, unless you like Miss Gunderson’s peppery pancakes and green hamburgers. 

Rule Three: stay away from girls who love Glitter Ponies. They have cooties, after all. 

And Rule Four: never, ever lose your magic pencil. 

But Daniel has broken all of his own rules. Now he’s stuck and starving at Camp Bigfoot with the school bully as his bunkmate and an ooey-gooey girl who won’t leave him alone. If all of that wasn’t bad enough, his prized possession, a pencil that brings his drawings to life, has gone missing and wacky creatures are popping up all over camp. 

Can Daniel survive Camp Bigfoot and find his magic pencil before it’s too late?
