FreeK
Camp is the new novel by Bram-Stoker and Ray-Bradbury-award-winning young adult
author Steve Burt. The book is perfect for summer reading (and is a finalist
for the NY Festival of Books Teen Beach Book of the Year as well as a finalist
for the Mom's Choice awards and the Moonbeam Children's Book awards), but it's
also proving to be a great teaching tool for classrooms in grades 6-12.
Kids learn about 100 new vocabulary words, enjoy learning about the paranormal,
assimilate the values of team-building and cooperation, and deal with issues of
differentness. Plus, they have a great mystery/thriller populated by
eleven teen protagonists who are like them. And the story is so gripping
that it will hold readers' interest until the breathtaking double climax.
This one is a cinch for a series and for movies. Student test groups have
reported that kids are ripping through this 280-page page-turner in 8 to 48
hours. They're unable to put it down. Here's a summary from the back
cover.
An
Adventure That's Out of this World. An In It.
Free
Camp, which somehow became known as FreeK Camp, is for special kids. But
just how special most people will never know. Two vans are on their way to the
camp in rustic New England, their passengers just starting to get acquainted.
One van makes it. The other mysteriously disappears. Now each group of kids
must bond together to discover and use their paranormal and psychic powers. The
lives of one group literally depend on it. Part mystery thriller, part detective
story, part sci-fi, FreeK Camp is all hold-your-breath-I-didn't-see-that-coming
adventure.

It is a great feeling when you are an independent author and your books arrive. You open up the boxes with a smile on your face. You can't wait to get the first book out of the box. Steve Burt has been writing for years and he has won his fair share of awards for the work that he is doing. Freek Camp is a very special book. It is a book that is hard to put down, once you start reading.
