I read the first book in French (Le camp de l'épouvante) when I was a kid and thought it just ended with an open cliffhanger. I didn't know there was an untranslated sequel, that this book "The Second Summer" existed. It definitely captured my attention!
Fans of Goosebumps will feel a "Welcome to Dead House" vibe. I couldn't put it down; I read it non-stop. I was glad to know more about this Camp Zombie universe. I had fun reading this. The story is fast-paced, unfolding in a matters of 2-3 days. I found it scarier than the first one considering there are more campers deaths and that the kids are left to fend for themselves.
I also didn't know there was a sequel to this book too! So a 3rd book exist! The Lake's Revenge. I hope I get to read it some day. It's not available online or in my country's libraries. I'll hunt for it in used bookstores.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The horror is dialed up in this one -- there's an actual body count and jump scares are replaced by long chase scenes. Decently written for a juvenile novel, though not extraordinary. Fans of Goosebumps may get a kick out of Camp Zombie: The Second Summer.
