Camp Ghost-Away
Donuts, donuts, a mountain of donuts. Molly Duff rubs her stomach. She'd like to eat them, but the Pee Wee Scouts are going to sell them. Door to door. To earn badges and help pay for a weekend at camp. Mrs. Peters, their troop leader, plus one mother will go to camp too. Molly can't wait to swim and hike and sing around the campfire! But when the Pee Wee Scouts are tucked away in their tents for the night, a strange and scary voice calls out, "OOOO ooo eee!" Molly shivers. Is it a tiger? Or could it be a spooky ghost? Find out why the Pee Wee Scouts call their camp Camp Ghost-Away!

I use to love these books when I was little. I adore the original covers also. I thought it would be fun to read a few again. The main character is a girl but there are boys in the group also.

All the kids in this book are mean to each other, except Molly and Mary Beth. Sonny and Roger tried to scare the girls by acting like a ghost. Mary Beth is really nice. Molly couldn't row or do any of the things, but the got her own two special badges for not being homesick and for finding Mary Beth's ring. Rachel is not the greatest. She was mean ever since the beginning of the book. She has all these new bikini's for swimming, she is very wealthy. Mary Beth was my favorite character because she was nicer than everyone else. I don't remember everything about her, but I can't think of anything not nice that she said. ~ Jack, age 10

Alice: 5 stars. I liked it because it wasn't scary.
Jenny: 2.5 stars. The story was ok, but I didn't care for the bickering between the characters.

This really sums up the average scout experience for younger kids, from what I've seen, though there are many troops that don't do so many scout-type things anymore. I can remember selling cookies through Girl Scouts and how intimidating our first camping trip. Kids that age used to get homesick all the time on overnights. I know how easy it is to be homesick with your mom right there at camp with you. I've been there.
It's a cute read, though you can really start to tell how dated the story was with all the name-calling. I'm familiar with that because it reminded me so much of my own scout troop when I was little. It wasn't quite the same thing, but I remember having the same problem with learning to float. Canoeing on the lake was always my favorite. We had kids try to pull pranks and kids who were homesick. It really reminded me a lot of what it was like when I was younger.
I think my kids are going to love this book. My daughter was in Girl Scouts for a while and this sounds exactly like her troop! My boys might not ever do scouting, so it should be fun for them to experience it. Though it's written from a girl's perspective I think my son would enjoy it. It's just funny enough for him.
These would be a great early chapter book series. The plots move kind of slow, but faster than some of the other stories aimed at the same age group. There are also enough experiences in each book to keep them new, interesting, and entertaining.

A Hex to anyone who does not like the Pee Wee Scouts. Cute story, but I did not like the name calling in the book. We seem to be more conscious about this type of bullying today.

Read aloud at bedtime with my seven and five year old boys. They enjoyed it; I thought it was fine. Came from my stash of books from childhood. They enjoyed Molly's saying: "Rat's knees!"
