I love the descriptions about camping. It goes a long way to help readers who aren't familiar with the concept.

This sounds interesting. The bit of being taken into a secondary story Lib is reading sounds a bit dull. I hope I will enjoy reading this.

Have you ever read a review and felt you won't like the book as much as you liked the review? Well this is it for me. Nice one.

I would like to read and see how camping went for the teenagers, I haven't been to Camp myself, so I can't say whether it is fun or not. Thanks to the author for choosing to write about this. Congrats to the book of the day.

The book description was over detailed, according to me. But your review is honest and I appreciate it.
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)

I’ve always wanted to try camping but never been able to, so this is the perfect way to do it in my brain, at least. I also empathise with Lib - I was a shy child with little self-confidence who applied little stories to things, often trying to talk to animals. I wish he could have been my friend!

I've never been camping nor really wanted to, despite living within driving distance of some good areas for it, but I do know what it's like to be the shy person who feels out of place. It's always nice to see such characters grow into their own in a story, especially if they're taking the journey with a parent they weren't close to before so they can get closer. The length and errors might be a dealbreaker for me right now, though. Thank you for the helpful review.
