Zach's Wars Prequel: Rogue Summer: Zach's Wars, #1

By Christi Doporto and Gavin Doporto

Zach Soto has his entire summer planned. Sleep late, go to Space Wars Lego camp, play video games with his friend, Big Teddy, and eat lots of ice cream. But when his dad tells him that he will be going to church camp instead with his sisters, Zach's not one hundred percent on board. Will swimming, archery, horseback riding, or a cool Space Wars party be enough to change his mind or will Zach go rouge this summer?

Acknowledgements

We’d like to thank everyone who has supported this fun book adventure. At first, I wasn’t sure we’d be able to do it, but with Gavin’s vivid imagination and my talent for writing books, we not only crafted a plot for one book, but for several in this amazing series.

I’d like to personally thank my husband for encouraging me to write a children’s book series and for his patience while I made it happen.

Thank you to Irwan, who took the time to read the book and draw the characters and scenes to perfection. The illustrations have really brought this story to life.

Much appreciation to Lindsey for ensuring every word follows proper grammar structure. I couldn’t do it without you!

Much appreciation to you, the reader, for deciding to read this book. I hope you can relate to Zach and continue to read about his adventures.

To all the kids who thought summer camp would be a drag!

Summer was supposed to be great this year. So far it’s not looking that good. I’m on the way to Atoka, Oklahoma, for church camp when I should be on the way to Space Wars Lego Camp.

Zach, come on, sing with us. One of the camp counselors encourages me to join in with the rest of the kids.

I pretend to mouth the words to some ridiculous song. I’m trying my best to have a good attitude, but it’s nearly impossible.

Everything was set until my dad announced that he was sending us to a church camp that was the same week as Lego camp. My best friend, Big Teddy, had been planning with me to Lego camp, and when I told him the change of plans, he said he was in. What a friend!

Then, last week Big Teddy’s dad called and said he had to go to Chicago to spend time with him. Since his parents are divorced and live in different states, he didn’t have a choice. So, now I’m on the way to church camp without my best friend. At least my two sisters, Felicia and Sarah, will be there, but summer is looking a little lonely for me.

Six hours later, we arrive at the camp. Tall trees surround us on the long dirt road that leads to the grounds. Now I know why they said no technology! We are truly in the middle of the woods. There probably isn’t a cell tower for miles. How’s a ten year old supposed to survive without electronics for an entire week?

The bus slows down and a large banner welcomes us. There’s no turning back now. I’m stuck here for sure!

This is going to be so much fun! my little sister, Sarah, squeals as she jumps
