Space Camp

Ray O'Ryan Β· 2016
65/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

A dependable early-reader entry in an established Simon and Schuster series, with a positive conflict-resolution message and a fun space-camp setting that will appeal to Galaxy Zack fans. As the fourteenth book in a series with a deliberately thin plot structure, newcomers and readers looking for more complex storytelling will want to start elsewhere or choose a meatier middle-grade title.
