Smith has crafted a strong series starter with this graphic novel. The vibrant art evokes old-time comics, rich in color and detail. Pacing, characterization, and conflict are deft and engaging. A five-chapter overture to a series that campers and noncampers will tune into with glee.

Smith's playful, simple character designs hit classic camp-story beats (food fight, ghost story, relay race) in a quick, entertaining story full of feeling. Lots of jokes and open panels make this early reader comic easy to like.

This series opener is sure to be a hit in library collections specialized for younger elementary readers where music is a high interest.
