I am the author of a middle grade fiction novel called Camp Stinks! I am available for school visits, Girl Scouts, library visits and camp shows. I am available to teach children about camping, friendship and Michigan wildlife.

Camp Stinks!, by Karen Dawn Blum, is an engaging read for kids, ages 9-12, middle school students, teens, and adults.
'I tried to push myself along by wriggling and wiggling. It didn't work. I wouldn't budge. My arms were starting to go numb. I was stuck twenty feet above the ground with no help in sight. If I yelled, I would surely get caught doing something bad at camp.'
Kate Baker is an almost twelve-year-old girl who wants to go to a fancy camp with her friends from back home. Her parents dump her at the same disgusting camp she hated for three summers in a row.
When her best and only friend at camp doesn't show up, Kate tries every way she can think of to get sent home early.
In order to not get caught in her web of lies, Kate may have to trust the one person she hates the most.
