Spooky Tale

This spooky tale revolves around a myth concerning an old man named Cropsy who has supposedly killed a boy and comes back every six years to the camp to kill. The girls in bunk 5A are a little scared but not much. Fights and feuds lead to a bonding camping trip, which turns out to be their worst nightmare. I couln't put this book down and it kept me reading it even during lunch at school. If you like scary books read this novel today!

Okay book

Good book, chapters are a little long,between 18 and 22 pages.Lots of suspense. 250 pages 17 chapters.Lost my interest at some points.

A Shrieking Review

This book was wonderful, and didn't fail to give you a little scare! Like all the great books in this series, it kept you reading till the very end. In this book, the girls of Camp Lakeview, bunk 5A, go on a little camping trip to learn how to 'BOND' together. But things get a little twisted when everything goes wronge. A creepy legend about a crazy man named, Cropsy, roams Shadow lake to kill campers. It is quite frightening! The girls get an adventure that is more than they bargained for. I thought it was a really exelent book. If your looking for a book with a slight mystery and mayham, then this book is for you! I loved it, and would read it over and over again!

A Scary 4 Star Rated Book

Wanna read a super scary fun book with adventure in it? This is the PERFECT book for that. When the girls are sent out on a "camping over-night trip," because they've been fighting, it turns out awful. And I mean AWFUL. Chelsea trips and falls down into a hole, and can't get out because she sprained her ankle. The other girls are out to find her, while trying to avoid, who they think is, Old Man Cropsy with one arm. As the legand goes, he spooked some kids out 6 years before, and he accidentally cut off is OWN arm while trying to kill a boy. He comes out every 6 years and tries to cut someone else's arm off, so he can get back his own. THIS IS YEAR NUMBER 6.
