I grew up reading and loving The Teacher from the Black Lagoon. I had no idea there was a beginner chapter book series too. While I enjoy the premise, I thought it could have been a lot more funny and scary, but it chose to go a more tame route with wasn't may jam. My rating - 2/5

In "The Summer Camp from the Black Lagoon," the kids from Lagoon School are packing up for their summer camp adventure, but they’re nervous because they’ve heard some spooky stories about it. The camp is said to be haunted by strange creatures and filled with weird surprises. As the kids arrive and start their activities, they face their fears and discover that the camp is actually a lot of fun, despite the scary rumors. This book shows how sometimes things that seem scary at first can turn out to be exciting and fun once you give them a chance.

Sometimes we are scared of things unknown. This story teaches children its is ok to be scared but to experience life's unknown. Read this to my 9 year old who thought it was the best. PS- Mom thought it was pretty funny herself.
