"Camp Dracula" By Tom B. Stone

Title: Camp Dracula
By: Tom B. Stone
Published Year: 117
Pages: 117
Genre: Pre-teen
Series: Graveyard School #6

I do read everything I can get my hands on, and kid's book is no exception. Books are a real love of mine, and reading all kinds feeds this love of mine. This book is no exception to this love of mine.

This book is a starter point for kids starting to get into chapter books. Unlike the Goosebumps stories of R.L. Stine, the print is not as large as those and not as spaced out. So I would put this as an advancement from the Goosebumps Series, but before R.L. Stine's Fear Street series.

Camp Dracula  takes place in a camp as the title would suggest. Of course it places a new kid in a camp that seems to have the same campers from previous summers. Two fears of many kids, being away from the family for a time period and being the only new kid. In saying this, kids should be able to picture themselves in the main character's shoes. In addition for those curious about vampires, it brings into account this subject as well, without overdoing the whole idea.
