A full moon rises over the forest as you crawl into your tent for the night. You've been waiting for this camping trip all year! As you start to drift off to sleep, to dream of tomorrow's adventure, you are awakened by the sounds of some night creature. Something sinister hops about the campsite, making repeated demands for-- s'mores???
Modelled on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", this tale will tease the imagination with what lurks in the dark, but with a style suitable for readers between 9 and 12 years of age. Told with humour, the author captures the tension of that first solo camping trip. When suddenly every noise is frightening, and every shadow moves with some dark intent. Or does it?
Includes some tongue in cheek camping tips and a recipe for campfire s'mores--just in case you are new to these activities!
Award-winning author Ruth Amanda turns her keyboard towards those who can stay up past 7:30, who can fend for themselves, and who think strawberry jam makes a delicious smelling personal hygiene product.
