Wolf Camp by Katie Mcky


Wolf Camp is the story of a girl who asks her parents to go to wolf camp. When she returns from her 2 weeks adventure, her parents notice that somethings have changed about her. She was sniffing in the dirt, scratching fleas, and only wanting to eat meat. Her parents found this incredibly strange, but overtime realize that it might be from wolf camp. She then sees a poster for bear camp and asks her parents if she can go, circling the whole story around again, but about a bear.

I really was not a fan of this book. When looking at the cover and seeing the picture of the little girl ready to go to camp with all of her luggage I assumed the book would be about her experience at camp. I attended overnight camp as a kid and thought that this book would remind me of this times. The story does not take place at camp at all. It is a face paced book and I found myself getting annoyed by the fact that they did not once show her at camp.

The one thing I liked, as with most books, were the illustrations. They way they showed the little girl acting like a wolf was very funny. I especially liked the picture of her scratching her head with her foot. I think this book would be good for students in k-2nd grade. Even though I really did not enjoy the overall story, I think that kids will find the story funny.
