Summer Camp Science Mysteries #6
The Whispering Lake Ghosts: A Mystery About Sound
It's a dark and stormy morning at Camp Dakota, but that won't keep Braelin from investigating the whispers coming from the lake. What else could it be, but ghosts? The campers try to record and amplify the sounds, but suddenly the eerie voices go mute. Braelin and Megan won't give up, even when their ghost hunt leads them deep into the woods. Can they use their sound smarts to get back safe? Look in the back of the book for experiments and more to help you become a science detective too!

S has read a couple of these STEM-focused camp graphic novels. The kids are clearly meant to be teens (one has a boyfriend, etc.) but the book seems appropriate enough for my 7-year-old. In this iteration they are solving mysteries about sound. I read it aloud to S and L, although I still maintain that graphic novels are ideal for solo reading.

Good book for elementary aged kids. Teaches science without feeling educational.

Format: Graphic Novel Content: Narriative Nonficiton Text Features: experiments, glossary, further information Grade Level: 2-4
Summary: Set at summer camp a group of kids encounter situations (thunderstorms, flute making, and tape recording) where the opportunites arise to learn about the science of sound. Features a Native American Folktale and a plot about ghost at the lake.
Review: Pictures are good for a begining grapic novel not too many takling bubbles in each frame. Characters and situations are realistic. I like the purple information frames that explain the science in more detail. The experiments at the back are easy for a young person to do independently. After reading this book I want to buy the whole set for my school library collection.
