"Hopelessly hapless Hal Rifkind, a.k.a. Cartboy, is off to summer camp. And not just any old camp, but history camp. Campers have to learn how to churn butter, plant maize, and carry water from the stream--or they get punished for not doing their chores. What else could possibly go wrong for Cartboy?"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The middle-grade doodle-filled journal-style genre is generally not my favorite genre, but it's by no means my least favorite, either. And I've read enough of the characters, both male and female, in the genre by now to have an idea of which ones are better than others.
Cartboy Goes to Camp is not one of my favorites. I found it less funny and less relatable than others, while Cartboy's parents were even more frustrating to me than most middle-grade novel parents (and that's saying something!). But what I liked least about Cartboy Goes to Camp were the illustrations. Most of the books in this genre use "hand-drawn" doodles or illustrations, to give the books that kid's journal feel. Cartboy Goes to Camp includes some hand-drawn pictures and timelines, but it also includes stock photos and clip-art. I would have liked the book so much more if all the illustrations had been hand-doodled, like the timelines. (In my copy, the stock photos even had watermarks on them, though hopefully that was just because I was reading a galley.)
For kids who have read all the other middle-grade doodle-y journal books, Cartboy Goes to Camp will give them something to read until the next entry into the popular genre appears. But if they haven't, I'd recommend Alvin Ho (by [a:Lenore Look|267992|Lenore Look|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1342271732p2/267992.jpg]), Desmond Pucket (by [a:Mark Tatulli|445206|Mark Tatulli|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1235252681p2/445206.jpg]), or Kate the Great (by [a:Suzy Becker|43615|Suzy Becker|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1399853577p2/43615.jpg]) instead. The bestselling [b:Diary of a Wimpy Kid|389627|Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, #1)|Jeff Kinney|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388183826s/389627.jpg|2617009] ranked only 2-stars for me as well, but I'd also recommend that series over Cartboy.
Note: I received a digital galley of this book from NetGalley. (
