Imagine this scenario: You suddenly find yourself in a camp full of vampires. What would you do if you were a human in this situation? Would you run away as fast as possible or try to find a way to coexist with these supernatural beings? It’s a thrilling and scary thought.
A teenage girl named Maya had a challenging school year. She was excited to learn to cook from her favorite chef’s video recipes. However, her dad and his girlfriend, Charlotte, surprised her. They registered Maya for a culinary camp. On the day of the camp, Maya accidentally boards the wrong bus and ends up at Camp Dracula. The camp is for vampires, and Maya is a human! What will Maya do in this strange and unexpected situation?
I instantly connected with this book as soon as I looked at it; good job on the cover.
The words were woven together so masterfully that it was hard to put this book down. The author’s aptitude for humor was evident throughout the book and had me snickering at every turn.
The art style was captivating and added another dimension to the overall experience.
Maya, the main character, is a brilliant and passionate girl. Her love for cooking is comical yet endearing, and the author does an excellent job of bringing out her unique personality traits. Maya’s dad and his girlfriend, Charlotte, are well-written characters who add depth to the story. Nico, one of the Camp Dracula campers, is a funny character who stands out the most.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story with quirky and unforgettable characters.
Happy Publication Day and Reading, Paige
