About this audiobook
When Bess asked George and me to be counselors at her old camp, I thought I was in for a relaxing week.
But trouble always finds me. I heard about a camper who had drowned in the lake years ago and dismissed it as a ghost story. But then something pulled me under during a swim lesson. And then our cabin’s sleeping bags disappeared!
You would think after solving so many cases involving ghosts, I wouldn’t believe in them. But these scary events are making it hard not to. All I know is that I have to make sure my campers are safe at Camp Cedarbark.

I didn’t like how they added people trying to call up spirits. Minus that it was five stars. I'm glad Nancy, Bess, and George stopped Bella's seance.5 people found this helpful

I love that Nancy needs a little time off from mysteries so Nancy, Bess and George go to the camp Bess went to when she was a child and end up smack in the middle of one! Love it! ❤ - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

Nancy needs to stop dashing into situations without back up for the one she’s been in dire situations and only nearly escaped. Also the ouija board and the person with bran damage made this completely inappropriate for kids under 13 or 14.1 person found this helpful

There is bad stuff in this book. Do not read. This book has a seance in this and I do not think this book should be for kids. Other then that mistake this book is one of my favorites out of the Nancy drew diaries series.
PLEASE do not put stuff like the seance in your other books Carolyn Keene - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I enjoyed this book a lot. Nancy, Bess, and George sigh up as counselors at a summer camp that Bess used to go to when she was a kid. But strange things keep happening, including people being pulled underwater by some unknown force. I had my own ideas about who was really behind everything, but I was totally wrong.
