Y’all are just going to love Taylor Dolan’s funny, stylish new series. Lexie Wilde is spending summer at Scout Camp – so far, so normal, but her fellow campers turn out to be a werewolf, a ghost, a zombie and a talking skeleton with buckets of attitude. Once she’s adjusted, Lexie settles in and declares Camp Croak is better than butter on fresh cornbread (we’re deep in the US South). Everything changes however with the arrival of self-declared Scoutmaster Supreme Miss Euphemia Vile, a woman with hair bigger than the state of Texas and evil in mind. Can Lexie and her new friends see her off? This is girl power as you’ve never experienced it before and all delivered with the most delicious Louisiana twang. It’s as much fun to look at as it is to read aloud, with Dolan’s own scratchy pen and ink illustrations on every page. Strange, sharp, and very funny, don’t miss!

About
Ghost Scouts Welcome to Camp Croak! Synopsis
Lexie Wilde was pretty sure she was supposed to be joining the Happy Hollow Camp for Joyful Boys and Girls for the summer. So why did her Grams just drop her off under a big ol' sign saying WELCOME TO CAMP CROAK? And is she really sharing a cabin with a werewolf, a skeleton, a fancy schmancy zombie and a baseball-hat-wearing ghost? Yep, looks like she is!
After earning some rather unusual Ghoul Scout badges, Lexie becomes the best of friends with her new pals, and before long is one of the team. However, danger lurks as the dastardly Euphemia Vile has plans of her own. And when their beloved camp counsellors succumb to an odd sleeping sickness, Lexie and her new friends become suspicious ... can they overcome the saccharine sweetness of their new Scoutmaster and save Camp Croak?
