Description

Dante is back in Camp Catastrophe, the second in this hilarious, highly illustrated series for children aged 7+, by author/illustrator Brian Gordon. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

After winning their school quiz, Dante and Virgil are ready for a rest. But when Virgil suggests they go to Camp Sulphur Springs, Dante reluctantly agrees. What could possibly go wrong?

A LOT! Endless rain, sharing a cabin with his nemesis and being hit in the butt by a stray arrow are only the beginning of Dante’s woes. With an outrageously annoying heartthrob camp counsellor and whisperings of a monster lurking in the woods, Dante’s problems are about to get MUCH worse!

Follow more of Dante’s adventures in Dante N. Ferno is NOT a Loser.
