In this book I think that Sarah will meet a skeleton or ghost and the skeleton will watch her from the lake.

So far I am enjoying this book, Because lots has happened in just 1 chapter.

Aaron comes over and tells Sarah to shake it off and to laugh it off. Later on a camp counselor named LIz came and started talking about the camp water system rules, while Richard kept cracking jokes, this lasted about 30 mins.

Chapter 6

During this chapter Meg and Briana wanted to apologize for what they had done to Sarah, they asked if they could get a fresh start. Sarah agreed and said that would be a good idea; Until this good idea wasn't so good after all, Sarah felt something wiggly up her shirt.

I really am enjoying this book because lots happens in each chapter and it’s very interesting and relatable, I also like the characters and their personalities.


Chapter 7

Sarah whipped the snake out of her shirt and screamed Aaron ran over and asked if she was okay, and she ignored him, so Aaron just ran to catch up with his friends. Sarah took out her flashlight and aimed the bright yellow light at her feet and started walking back to her cabin. Sarah looked up and realized she got lost and she couldn't see the path she was meant to take. Sarah finds herself in Quicksand.

Chapter 8

Sarah found out that it was just mud. She saw lots of spiders in the mud; Those spiders gave her an idea, an idea to get Briana and Meg back for what they did. Sarah Grabbed some spiders and shoved them into the battery part of the flashlight, and ran back to her cabin. Sarah poured the spiders under the covers of Megs and Brianas bed. As Brianna and Meg Came into the Cabin laughing at Sarah, Sarah couldn't wait to find out what will happen next.

Chapter 9

Sarah started canoeing after breakfast, She got forced to go with Jan, and as they were paddling across the lake Sarah wondered if she could swim back to shore (because she isn't the best swimmer) But as she looked behind herself she noticed that Jan was standing up, and Sarah commanded Jan to sit down, but the only thing Jan said was “Goodbye, Sarah”. I’m not sure if Jan knows that Sarah isn't a good swimmer and Jan is trying to make her swim.

Chapter 10

In this chapter Jan complains to Sarah that she can't go to the 6 day canoe trip because everyone knows she has Asthma Sarah’s Boat gets flipped over because Jan jumped off it. Struggling to breath Sarah grabbed the boat and shouted for Jan, Yet no reply.

Chapter 11

Jan swam all the way to the camp to tell Liz and all the campers that Sarah tipped over the canoe, Liz swam to Sarah to tell her the water rules. Liz even hold a camp meeting to go over the water rules again. All the campers are now mad at Sarah.

I’m Really enjoying this relatable book.

Chapter 12

Chapter 13

Sarah made a devious plan to “drown” herself, in chance of getting sympathy from the other campers. Sarah didn't tell Aaron though she knew he would tell Liz to get Sarah to stop. Sarah takes a deep breath; looks at the other campers laughing and goes under water.

I’m Dying to know what happens next

Chapter 14

In no luck Sarah struggles to breath, she is now really drowning. She sees bright yellow dots, and her back starts to burn; She slowly gets heavier and heavier. Sarah has drowned, and she can’t see anyone except yellow dots.

Chapter 15

Chapter 16

Sarah meets a ghostly girl, that demands Sarah to be her buddy. Sarah realizes that the blonde ghost girl is dead; That means Sarah is dead also. The blonde ghostly girl was singing the Camps song.

I think that the ghost is the person on the cover.

Chapter 17

Later that evening at the campfire Sarah sits down, but strangely someone is calling her Sarah looks around just to see Della, the Dead girl from when Sarah was “dead”.

Chapter 19

Chapter 24

Richard was just joking around about that he could see Della, so he just told Sarah that sometimes brains make you see things like that, and that Sarah should try a difficult water sport so she will be concentrating so hard that she will forget about Della and all other ghosts.


Chapter 25

Sarah ignored Richards attempt to help Sarah’s ghost problem, After Richard left the room Sarah snapped and screamed “SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!” to Della, just in time to find Briana standing behind her. Briana was sad, because she thought Sarah was talking to her, and she was actually trying to be friends again. Later that week Aaron was telling Sarah not to call their parents because he was enjoying himself, Sarah realized it was a bad idea in the first place and she also realized that it was a bad idea to stay away from the water and everyone else, so Sarah took the challenge of going water skiing. Liz was happy that Sarah was giving it a go, so she showed her how to do it, and got all the water skiing gear for Sarah, and called the motorboat to come across the lake. Sarah carefully climbed onto the water skis and shouting “READY” to the motorboat driver. Sarah was waterskiing like a pro until she saw that the motorboat driver was Della, Sarah started screaming for someone to stop the boat, but Della ignored.
