Mike hates camp as much as Rudy does and together they attempt to escape the island. Rudy meets Mike who has been sent to camp as a reward from his parents for good grades. He hasn’t met Rudy Miller yet, and he’s no ordinary kid. Arthur’s take is that all boys are just boys. It has been recommended by the school’s guidance counsellors that Rudy attend camp to improve his interpersonal skills to essentially become a “normal” child. His parents write to the camp Director, Arthur Warden out of concern. I really enjoyed camp, but Rudy Miller doesn’t. When I read this book, I picture this place and can relate to some of it. Camp Algonkian reminds me of camps that I attended, such as Camp Wahonowan on Lake Couchiching for band camp. This is an early teen book that shows the absolute absurdity of what can go wrong at camp. ![]()
