An intermediate chapter book for preteen boys ages 8-12! Surviving Summer Camp: A Laugh-Out-Loud Wilderness Adventure for Ages 8-12

🌲 Three brothers. One raging river. Zero snacks.

Eddy had the perfect summer planned. No brothers. No responsibilities. No worries. Just comic books, video games, and all the junk food he could cram in his face.

But one “tiny” mistake ruins everything.

Now he’s being shipped off to summer camp… with his bossy older brother (a know-it-all camp counselor) and his annoyingly cheerful younger brother. Bugs. Forest wildlife. Physical activities. Nope—this is Eddy’s nightmare.

And then it gets worse.

When an overnight hike goes horribly wrong, the brothers get separated from the other campers and are lost deep in the wilderness. No map. No cell service. And worst of all—no snacks.

To survive, Eddy will have to dig deep and become something he’s never been before:

🎯 A hero.

Will they make it back alive… or kill each other trying?

Perfect for fans of:

- Hatchet (heart-pounding survival adventure)

- Holes (funny coming of age)

- Diary of a Wimpy Kid (laugh-out-loud humor)

- Big Nate (hilarious sibling chaos)

This fast-paced, funny survival story will have readers ages 8-12 hooked from page one.

❤️ Why Kids (and Parents) Love It:

✔ Action-packed adventure that keeps even reluctant readers turning pages

✔ Hilarious sibling rivalry with laugh-out-loud moments
