Artistic Jenna and delinquent Lucas unexpectedly find themselves at invitation-only Camp Fielding. Soon after their arrival, they discover there are disappearances and all of the other kids are turning into mindless brainy zombies. At the climax of the novel, they realize the camp directors are responsible, with the permission from their parents. I could not believe their own parents would do this!Combining humor and horror this graphic novel is great for teenagers 14 and up. If students enjoy this book, I would suggest the "Goosebump" novels, for they have the same horror science fiction tone. I found the pictures to be just as detailed and informative as the actual dialogue. One important component for a good fantasy book is that there is a universal theme (Lesesne 2003). For example, in real life parents will not be giving their child intelligence serum to make them smarter. However, the theme of living up to parent expectations and the pressure placed on the parents to have a successful child are very real.
