Camp Creepy Time
Einstein P. Fleet is forced to attend camp in the desert despite his best arguments, and man-eating spiders are the least of his problems. The camp is haunted, the campers are turning into monsters, and his counselors are aliens plotting to sell the kids to an intergalactic zoo (once they completely transform into mummies, vampires, and werewolves). He writes home and relays his predicament, but his parents don’t believe a word of it—even though it’s entirely true.
Einstein may have been able to uncover government plots and survive seventh grade, but will he be able to save himself and his fellow campers from a terrifying fate?

I thought this was a fun book, but the beginning was a bit confusing. I wasn't quite sure where we were going, and I wondered if it was going to be a remake of Holes. There are some similarities.
But then things went totally wacky and the plot switched up for a lot of fun and intrigue. Loved Greeley and Roxie! The operators of the camp were sufficiently frightening to possibly result in some nightmares for younger readers.

Einstein P. Fleet has already logged hundreds of hours trying to blow the whistle on baddies. Through his popular blog, The Smoking Peashooter, Einstein manages to spread the word on all sorts of conspiracy theories, and he's even had a lawsuit pending against him since the fourth grade, all thanks to “The Wilson Incident.”
Naturally, he questions his parents' motives for sending him to a remote summer camp for eight agonizing weeks, with no Internet access and a limited supply of Twinkies. From the moment he steps on the bus and sees every other camper in a monster costume, Einstein worries that perhaps this particular camp may be much more difficult to deal with than any normal one would be.
Unfortunately for him and his unsuspecting parents, his fears are well-founded…
Chock full of werewolves, vampires, mummies, giant spiders, and greedy mobster aliens, this book provides the same brand of entertainment as a classically cheesy monster film. Highly recommended for reluctant readers.

This sounds like an interesting book but the plot line is not carried out in the best way. In fact, the book leaves the reader feeling pretty confused because information is given rather quickly, and there is nothing to back it up later on in the story. The ending also leaves open ties about what happens to the characters and what the heck was up with those aliens. Maybe if you're into government conspiracy theories you'll understand and enjoy this book more than I did.

Einstein P. Fleet reluctantly goes to summer camp and is dismayed to find that all the other campers are costumed either as vampires, mummies or werwolves. The camp is in horrible condition and strange things begin to happen to the campers. A fun read and I think older kids would enjoy it.

I had an advanced copy of the book and enjoyed it. It's not too childish, but a little whacked out. Fun adventure type of book.

Crazy, wacky, over the top book. The writing's not great, the premise is ridiculous, but that's kinda the fun. Great cover, which helps a lot.
Yep, I think that's all I've got to say here.
