About This Book

Morris College All-Sports Camp has everything twelve-year-old Greyson Gray needs to distract him from his father's mysterious disappearance - intense athletic competition, weird friends, and a pretty girl. But when Greyson stumbles upon a terrorist's sinister plot brewing in the observatory, a place already haunted by a chilling camp legend, he suddenly toils with two dueling worlds - one of lurking danger and mystery, the other of competition and awkward romance. Spurred on by his father's word

Our Review

This middle-grade adventure novel offers young readers an exciting blend of sports camp camaraderie and high-stakes mystery, following twelve-year-old Greyson Gray as he navigates intense athletic competitions and budding friendships while coping with his father's mysterious disappearance. The story masterfully balances the familiar world of summer camp activities with a chilling terrorist plot that Greyson uncovers in the camp's haunted observatory, creating a compelling narrative that will keep children turning pages. Young readers will find themselves immersed in both the thrilling sports competitions and the growing suspense as Greyson discovers clues about his missing father while unraveling a dangerous conspiracy.

What makes this book particularly engaging for the 7-10 age range is how it handles serious themes of parental loss and responsibility through the accessible lens of summer camp adventures and age-appropriate relationships. The protagonist's journey from sports-focused distraction to reluctant hero provides a relatable arc for children navigating their own challenges, while the blend of mystery elements with typical camp experiences creates a story that feels both extraordinary and grounded. This chapter book successfully captures the awkwardness of first crushes and friendship dynamics alongside genuine suspense, making it an excellent choice for young readers ready to transition into more complex narratives that still feel age-appropriate and exciting.
