Some campfires crackle.
Some campfires pop.
And some campfires... seem to be paying attention.
Fireside Laughs: The Fire Snickers Back is a collection of funny, strange, and slightly spooky campfire stories where the jokes don't always go the way they're supposed to. Set at a summer camp where rules exist for a reason (even if no one remembers why), these stories explore awkward moments, bad timing, and laughs that echo just a second too long.
Nothing graphic. Nothing gory.
Just the kind of weird, uncomfortable-for-a-moment stories that make kids laugh first... and think about them later.
Inside this book, readers will find short, fast-paced campfire tales filled with:
Jokes that land a little sidewaysRules that don't work the way kids expectQuiet moments that feel strange before turning funnyCamp chaos that always seems to notice when someone laughs too earlyWritten for readers ages 8-12, this book is especially great for:
Kids who love humor with a hint of mysteryReluctant readers who prefer short storiesSensitive readers who want spooky vibes without real scaresFamilies who enjoy reading aloud and laughing togetherFireside Laughs takes place in the same camp world as the Fireside Frights series, but leans lighter - offering humor-first stories that feel eerie for just a moment before snapping back into fun.
If your reader likes campfire jokes, strange rules, and stories where nothing bad really happens - but something definitely feels off - this is the perfect place to start.
Pull up a log.
Stay close to the fire.
And whatever you do...
Don't laugh too early.
