Moon Camp

Author Barry Gott
What if summer camp was in outer space?

Summer is here! But Jake doesn't want to go to summer camp. Even if camp is on the moon. Sure enough, he gets lost during the nature hike, his air canoe springs a leak, there's scary noises at night, and he's pretty sure he's allergic to moon dust. The worst part? He misses home.

But then Sam arrives and maybe Moon Camp isn't so bad after all? Full of out-of-this-world humor, Moon Camp is a celebration of new adventures and the unexpected friends you make along the way.
Barry Gott has been drawing his entire life. His first book was illustrated on the backs of paint can labels from his dad's paint factory and dictated to his mom, since he'd only mastered writing the letters A through C. He's been creating children's books, humorous greeting cards, and various other art in his attic studio in Cleveland, Ohio ever since. View titles by Barry Gott
“This pre–summer camp anxiety-soother has the advantage of an awesome setting.” --Kirkus Reviews

 
“A classic summer camp plotline, with an imaginative, space-age twist that adds immediate appeal. . . An inviting, amusing picture book.” --Booklist
