//Camp Confidential: HIde and Shriek.// Penguin Group Inc., 2007, 256 pp Melissa J. Morgan skip a line Camp Lakeview was the place where girls could hang out and talk during the summer while having a blast doing crazy activities together. Every year, the eight friends, Natalie, Jenna, Grace, Alex, Tori, Brynn, Alyssa, and Candace, get anxious as their await to see eachother face-to-face after a long school year grows near. As for the mean girls, Chelsea and Gaby, its another story. Everyone hates Chelsea but no one knows that she is only mean to them because they never would give her a chance, she has no real friends or family, and she doesnt know how to speak up for herself. The head-leader of Camp Lakeview decides that bunk 5A, which happens to be the bunk with all of those girls in it, needs to go on alittle camping trip to bond together more, but what he doesnt know is that all of the girls had heard a scary story about a man named Cropsy who has one arm and sneaks up on campers every six years and ends up killing people; and this year is the sixth. Every girl at Camp Lakeview knew that it was just one of those scary made-up stories, until Chelsea disappears. As the book proceeded, it began to twist and turn and started to actually get me a little afraid, but I really wanted to continue reading. I always wondered what was going to happen next and it started to put me in the shoes of some of the characters. Alot of the characters related to the people in school and it felt as if I was a character inside of the book. I think that a person that likes mysteries and enjoys the edge-of-the-seat feeling would love this book. I would recommend this book to anyone, any place, any day. This book was one that got me hooked and that is normally very hard for a book to do. Just feeling the characters fright and excitement, not in a happy way but in a scary kind of way, really enticed me to keep reading. I was actually upset when I reached the last page of the book. I can't wait to read the other 13 books in the series! If I had to choose, I would say that this is my number one favorite book out of all of the ones that I have ever read. --Tiffaney Williams. Ruby.
