Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-5-This book takes readers to camp and makes them want to stay there. Mallory has all of the fears of a typical nine-year-old going to a strange place for the first time. When she gets there, however, she discovers that parts of camp are fun but that learning to get along with her bunkmate is a big challenge. This ninth book in the series stands on its own. The plot is believable, and the language is well suited to the intended audience. Mallory's diary entries and black-and-white cartoons appear throughout. The action is well paced and while the focus is on the protagonist's interactions with her bunkmate, readers get a good feel for the whole camp experience. A lighthearted, enjoyable read.-Esther Moberg, Creswell Library, OR (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Review by Horn Book Review

In her ninth book, nine-year-old Mallory and her friends head to summer camp. Mallory's nervousness about being away from home for the first time is compounded by jealousy over her best friend's new cabin mate. All's well that ends well, of course, but this familiar story is enlivened by Mallory's exuberant narration and endearing personality. (c) Copyright 2010.
