Wee Reads: Camp Red Moon by R. L. Stine

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps. 



Camp Red Moon (an Audible Original)Camp Red Moon by R. L. Stine


  

Creepy fun for ages 9-12!
Camp nights or camp frights?
Every sleepaway camp promises memories that last a lifetime. But the memories from Camp Red Moon might give you nightmares!
The campfire appears to dim when the moon turns blood red and strange creatures prowl the forest.
Do you find a total lookalike at camp? Is it coincidence or is he a shapeshifter trying to take over your life?
Why don't your competitors at the robotics competition seem exactly...human?
And why do campers do anything to avoid Cabin 6?
The master of the scary story, R.L. Stine, has handpicked a staff of storytelling counselors - Dan Poblocki, Ellen Oh, and Justin Reynolds - to help him tell the creepy campfire stories that swirl around Camp Red Moon.
No matter how bright the campfire, get ready for some CHILLS!
Do you like this book?
Yeah! I really liked it because of the monsters in Camp Red Moon. It didn't really scare me but the stories were really good and creepy!

What's your favorite part of the book?
I liked the one with the werewolf! I really like werewolves! I like to howl like a wolf and I like how they're like dogs and cuddly but scary too!

I really liked the last story where the monster took over the boys life and became like him! That one did scare me a little bit because I don't want to lose my life!

What do you think of the cover?
I love it! It has a werewolf on it and red is one of my favorite colors!



This was one of Audible's free books of the month in October and I had gotten it for me to read, but Finn ended up listening too and he loved it! It was actually what got him into listening to audio books. Now he doesn't want to stop!
This is the first Wee Reads that has an actual chapter book and wow, he's getting big! 

Back to the book... This was a really fun read that has three short stories in one. A werewolf story, a robot story, and a story about a monster that steals people's appearances and lives!

This one had a lot of sound effects and a full cast, so it was a lot of fun to listen to. The stories were short but still a bit creepy. Definitely a perfect book for kiddos who want something kind of scary but not over the top. It's R.L. Stine and most of his kids ones are great. I grew up on his books and I feel like this one was classic Stine. 

This one says ages 9-12 but Finn is 6 and still loves it, and I'm 26 and loved it.
