Excellent news guys! I found the first chapter online for free! I’m pretty sure it’s legal, since it’s provided by Scholastic. And I think it’s the whole first chapter.
Let’s just say that Rudy is hilarious. Or should I say anonymous. I love how he just took the counselor’s room. The Band-Aid DND sign? Please. The boys are taking the sign seriously! Rudy took all of Mike’s sheets! Guys, what is a nut?! “What’s this material?”
- Rudy’s funny, and he doesn’t want to be there. Mike doesn’t want to be there either, but he’s at least pretending to put in an ounce of effort.
- Rudy’s also pretty hardcore, with his Band-Aid sign and ditching dinner.
- I love the contrast between Chip and Rudy! Chip is very chipper, but he’s not against punishing Rudy. Too bad the punishment is what Rudy aspires to. Sitting in the dorm all day.
- I like how it switches perspectives!
- Does Harold think much else other than “he’s a nut”? Lol!
- I like how the counselors are peppy and twins. I wonder if Rudy thinks of Chip as “Chip” or “Clone.” Or was it Dave? Thing 1 & Thing 2.
- I like how Mike is super smart, and if this is his reward for making good grades, he’d be disowned for making bad ones. Nice character variety. Oh, and he’s no good at sports!
- I wonder what Rudy’s good at! Other than wanting to go home, LOL.
So glad I could find the first chapter online. Cheers!
@ Raymond: I thought of MASTERMINDS too! First impressions? Rudy is cool, but he might become a nuisance. Hopefully a funny one. I like Mike, but don’t know too much about him. The majority of the population actually wants to be at camp. And no, I’ve never been to camp. Specifically stowaway camp. In a month and a half I’m seventeen years old and I still won’t be able to say that I’ve been to that kind of camp! I have been on some outdoorsy adventures with subpar food, so I can imagine the “material” a little bit. LOL! Lucky y’all!
Be blessed,
