Funny , good book to read !! I loved it !
May 2, 2018
Werewolves, camping, friendship, oh my!
After loving the World Book Day book from this series, I just had HAD to get the rest of this series. So for this month I bought 2 books from the series to see if I would enjoy them as much as I did the shorter book. The answer, after reading 1 book, yes. It was just as fun as the shorter book! If anything it was even funnier because it was much longer.
The friends are going camping, and they are all very excited. Well, mostly, as one of their least favourite teachers is coming with them, Ms. Moon.
The camping was oh so much fun. I had a laugh at what Maisie brought with her, and also loved to see the tents the kids had (poor Zach though). I liked seeing them go for several fun camping things, like bbq, well, as soon as it stopped raining (glad I am not the only one who gets rain while camping). There was a scavenger hunt (OMG Jodi was super competitive), marshmallow eating till you drop, ghost stories.
But as you may have guessed from the title, there are also werewolves. Or at least, our kids are thinking there are werewolves and I don't blame them. Ms. Moon is definitely acting fishy with her constant meat eating, all the hair (though I kind of guessed what was going on with that since I have been camping and you can't easily keep that kind of maintenance up all the time), and her strength. It was fun to see them try to figure out what was going on, texting with their other friend who couldn't come with them and have her relay information on werewolves, buy tons of ham, and more. And then Jodi starts to act up and everything becomes even more chaotic. As for her I knew what was going on as soon as certain details were named, but it was quite funny to see her friends go in full frenzy.
Oh, while I don't approve of it, I had a laugh at what the kids did at the museum.
I am not too sure about Maisie, she seems so weak. Nothing against her, but really, why is she so afraid of everything and anything? Is it because of her overprotective mom? Does she have a weak health system? Something else? I just never seen anyone be so afraid of everything and just flop into a faint with only the small mention of something.
Gary? At first I wasn't sure if I liked him, he seemed quite obnoxious, but he really proved he can be a great character in the later parts. I loved what he did for Jordi, and for the other kids. But I had a laugh at him being so protective of the river that has his name. And not just the name, but also the sign. I was definitely thinking he would steal it with him when they had to come back. :P
Jodi and her survival stuff? I just love it when characters have a skill or something they really like and are very dedicated about it. I hope that she will get a chance to go survivalling when she is a bit older (or maybe even participate in one of those shows on TV).
What was actually going on with Ms. Moon explains a lot, but there were still a few things that seemed weird + she was still not acting like a teacher for most of the time.
Oh and the art fits just like a glove with this book and its silliness.
All in all, I loved this book, I just had so many laughs while reading this one. I couldn't stop reading and just had to know and see how everything would come together. I would recommend this book to everyone, and I will be reading the next book I have very soon.

In this next Izzy book, the gang get to go on a much longed for school trip staying away camping.
Only as food goes missing, their teacher grows hairier and more moody Jody acts oddly and their imaginations run wild as per, the gang decide werewolves are at large and set about protecting themselves, fast!
This was a hair raising adventure!

Skaičiau septynmetei.
Labai smagi knyga, iki pat pabaigos su dukra spėliojom, kas tas vilkolakis...
Labai keista, kad Anglijoje išvykimas stovyklauti į gamtą reiškia gyvenimą kempinge su parduotuve, telefono būdele ir nameliais. Dar keisčiau, kad Anglijoje ketvirtokus ramiai išleidžia į tokią gamtą su nakvyne keturioms dienoms. Noooors aš dešimtmetį leidau į skautų stovyklą (su parduotuve) savaitei, tai gal ir visai tikėtina?
Viena veikėja - panelė Mėnulė - yra labai plaukuota, net antakiai suaugę. Ta proga pakalbėjau su vaikais, kad visiems žmonėms auga plaukai ant kūno, vieniems daugiau kietiems mažiau, bet auga visiems. Tad moterys su ūsiukais yra visiškai normalu. Tačiau pabaigoje panelė Mėnulė grįžo iš vonios visai nebeplaukuota, ir pasiguodė esanti labiau plaukuota nei "derėtų". Man tai pagadino knygą - vietoj to, kad pasakytų, kad kūno plaukai yra normalu, pasako, kad yra kažkokia "padorumo" riba, kurios nevalia peržengti.

This was a great read with my eight year old daughter, she was always keen to continue the story no matter how many chapters we read.
The story in this one just seemed a bit disjointed at times, one minute they’re going to breakfast the next they’re worrying about sheltering overnight in the woods, it seemed a bit too far a leap even for Jodi and Izzy. The whole scavenger hunt set up seemed completely weird as well, some cross between having to find objects and solving clues to follow a trail.
There are still some brilliant moments in the plot though, I loved the 200 slices of ham and what they did with them. There’s enough excitement generated to keep both myself and my daughter hooked on this series.
This would be a solid four star review, just a few of the chapters felt like they didn’t quite fit into the overall pace and structure of the story.

I really enjoyed this chunky book. It is quite a young read, also, very quick despite its 287+ pages. There are plenty of quirky text techniques employed and lots of simple and 'cute' illustrations. I loved the premise which is, basically, its a story about young children allowing their imaginations to run away with them. Brilliant. It took me back to my youth (and that was a long journey). Thanks Pamela Butchart - and not forgetting Thomas Flintham for his fun pics. Recommended.

4.5/5.
It's about a werewolf but there's actually no werewolves in it!!!!!!
It's really interesting though and i like that it's scary. Their teacher, well they all think she is a werewolf but Miss Moon isn't! It's really weird because one of their friends has been acting weird but it turns out they were just homesick.

Love this, first book I've read by this author but it won't be the last. My son picked this out as a little treat before Christmas and it has kept us thoroughly entertained at bed time. A group of friends are lucky to get away on a camping trip and strange things start occurring...oh and one of their teachers is getting hairier by the day.

Humorous retelling of a school trip.
Would be good for report writing or 'what happens ' next story discussions. Could also be linked with looking at werewolves in popular culture and thought out history. Good story to use before a school trip away.

Full of imagination and misunderstandings, this was a fun book to read. It was a romp through a campsite in Scotland and the woods, with kids winding each other up into a frenzy. Fun for both 8 year old and myself.

Such a good book, if you have any fears of werewolves or anything like that I think this is the book for you! At first it does get very intense but at the end this book is the perfect thing to take away an all your creepy werewolf thoughts! Not going to give any spoilers but I recommend this book!

This book is an amazing book! It’s about a friend group who go on a school camping trip, however their new or teacher is coming along and they don’t think she is normal? The journey is to find out what is so suspicious of this or teacher ?

It was fine. It was a nice idea well thought through and it was intermittently funny, but there was nothing exceptional or truly memorable about it. My eight year old loves it though.

Their teacher, Miss Moon, stole all the steaks at the campsite....hmmm...I wonder why!
