Summer Camp Literature
Friday, August 7th, 2009Remember your summer camp experiences?
You could write literature to last your lifetime from your summer camp adventures. Or imagine going to a summer camp armed with literature about summer camp. You or your summer camp aged kid could have summer camp fun in the day and then read summer camp literature in the evening for even more summer camp fun.
Click My Lit proudly presents ‘Summer Sleep-Away‘ by Ofer Aronskind.
Summer Sleep-Away is a tale of a boy’s first summer going off to sleep-away camp. Far from home, separated from his family and not knowing a soul, Mattie Kleinfeld is scared, homesick and cries himself to sleep. But soon the tears give way to new friends and fantastic adventures. Mattie goes hiking and fishing. He sails and swims and participates in team sports.
But it is not the canoe trips or the overnights that set this summer apart; it is not even his first girlfriend. It is a clue that he and his pals stumble upon that leads them to the adventure of a lifetime, to a vast treasure and to a window that sheds light on Mattie’s unique background. Mattie’s summer camp story is literature that will engage the imagination of every reader and capture the heart of any adult who was ever a summer camp kid.
