About This Book

What if your summer camp promised computers but instead was full of slippery snakes? Stevie Marsh can't believe he's stuck in the woods, surrounded by bugs, poison ivy, and real vipers! How will he survive when Camp Viper is nothing like he expected?

Quick Assessment

This early reader follows Stevie Marsh as he navigates unexpected challenges at Camp Viper, which is not the computer camp he anticipated but a place filled with snakes and outdoor adventures. Suitable for ages 5-8, this book introduces mild themes of facing fears and adapting to new situations in a light, non-threatening way. Parents should note the presence of nature-related discomforts like bugs and poison ivy, but the story maintains an accessible and reassuring tone.
