Customer Reviews

excellent chapter book

This installment of Betsy Duffey's series about Cody Michaels is just as fun as the others! Cody's mom, worried that her son is too enamored of television and video games, signs him up for a one-week summer camp experience. Cody is horrified and thinks of lots of reasons not to go, but after a couple of days he finds he is having a good time -- even without electricity! Funny and well written, this should be a hit with beginning readers or those ready for chapter books. Terrific.

My 5th grade review

I had to write a review for a fifth grade project. Here it is...This book is about a boy named Cody who spends all of his time watching TV and playing Video Games. But his mother wanted to change all of that. She sent him to Camp Bear for one week of the summer. It was a nature camp without electricity. How was Cody going to survive without electricity? But after 2 days without video games he was having fun with his new friends, Moose and Otter. There were real things to do at camp, such as kayaking, archery, horseback riding, swimming, pottery, fishing, and nature walks. He learned how to handle real life situations like, loosing his swimming trunks in the lake, dancing with girls, and saving his friend from a dangerous rattlesnake. Cody has so many new adventures that he survives the week and has fun.

Cody Unplugged

This book is very funny. If I could give this booka medal, I would. This book would make you laugh from begining to end. I would recommend this book topeople who like to laugh alot. I would not recommend this book to people who don't like to laugh, or anyone who doesn't like kids books

Kept my 10 year old away from his game boy!

My 10 year old son LOVED this book! He thought the book was really good and kept telling everyone that they needed to read it, too. It seems that it is very entertaining - he pointed out some of his favorite parts that he thought were funny. I think he was drawn in right from the start when Cody comes up with a list of reasons why he can't go to the camp his mom wants to send him to - including the dog might forget who he is and he would miss Wheel of Fortune. As you can tell from the second reason, Cody is a couch potato and not much for the great outdoors...at least at the beginning... The most amazing thing to me was that my son found something that he liked to read so much that his gameboy sat around gathering dust! :)

At first I was disappointed that he was reading it before my surprise package came for him, but since he loved it so much, I am sure it will be reread.
