    Aug 27 2020

    Dear Kelly, They really, really hate me!

Late at night, after Fanny has fallen asleep, the girls tell Mookie the legend of the Lady in the Lake and the girl who went missing from camp 25 years ago. Is it not Mookie’s responsibility as a budding young reporter to get to the bottom of this? If she can’t be at journalism camp this summer, she decides to bring journalism to camp instead.

    Episode 2: The Swim Test
    Aug 27 2020

    Dear Kelly, I have made zero human friends.

    Director Sue insists that Mookie halt reportage and “make friends”, which seems easier said than done. Worst of all, Director Sue has spoken the five worst words in the English language: “it’s the swim test today”. Not eager to get in the lake where The Lady is lurking around, hungry for a legacy camper; Mookie decides to follow Director Sue’s directive by including other campers in her investigation.

    Episode 3: Trip Day
    Aug 27 2020

    Dear Kelly, The Lady is real and out to get me.

    Mookie starts to make leeway on her investigation, only to be sidetracked by a trip off camp to the Umbrella Cover Museum. Good news is that she finds two kindred spirits in fellow camper Carter Ruben-Rubens and Ned, the friendly camp handyman. Less great news is that according to some stupid bus game, Mookie is apparently going to get married in a paper bag while driving an ice cream truck.

Had to turn it off

From the cover art, I thought "Letters from Camp" would have been a good listen for my kids. But after ghost stories about killing campers, shaving women's private parts, and wearing thongs, we turned it off and deleted it. Not something I need my 8 and 10 year old boys listening to.

Politics - really

One of the reasons I got this was the fact that it was kids at camp. I'm only on week 5 and there have bee several comments on politics. :0(

Fun book, excellent narration

I really enjoyed the story, the narration, the pacing, and the references to the 1990's. The story was clever and fun without being sugary. There are a few teen references, which I why I would probably say ages 12 and up--but you know your child better than I do.
The narration of this book/podcast was excellent. It makes all the difference when listening to a story like this. Sunny Sandler was fantastic. I would definitely listen to her again. And Jamie Lee Curtis was great as usual.

Please make more episodes!

I just loved this

It felt true! There wasn’t one stereotype character. The kids were like actual kids, and funny. I hated to see it end, really!

Very charming, but think final episode is missing?

I enjoyed listening but I think that the final episode is missing? Either that or it ends very abruptly!

slice of life story

The cast were really good.
Not my usual thing but I really enjoyed it.
Good for chilling out as it reminds me of other adventure books from childhood.

Charming, quirky and fun

Absolutely loved this sparkling gem and ended up listening to it all in one go. It has mystery, quirky characters and plenty of laughs with some sage life advice thrown in for good measure. Well done writers, cast and crew.

Enjoyable and entertaining!

I enjoyed listening to this podcast. There were a few very funny bits that really made me laugh out loud and I really enjoyed the lead narrator Mookie. I thought all the narrator's were brilliant - my favourite had to be the Australian Fanny! The story was good but I'm not sure what happened at the end. I feel a bit like there should be another chapter to tell us the rest. Please!
