Eleven-year-old Willow doesn't want to go to her dad's weird old summer camp any more than she wants her family to move to the weird old town where that camp is located. But her family—and fate itself—seem to have plans of their own. Soon, Willow finds herself neck-deep in a confounding mystery involving stolen snacks, suspected vampires, and missing campers, all shrouded in the sinister fog that hides a generation of secrets at Camp...whatever it's called.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–7—Willow, a Latinx biracial tween with purple hair, is not pleased to be moving with her family to the town of "Nowhere." To make matters worse, she is being dropped off at the same weeklong summer camp her dad used to attend. Willow also has to deal with an odd camp director who patronizes her once he finds out she is deaf and wears hearing aids. But all those troubles fade when she and her cabinmates discover that the foggy island is inhabited by supernatural creatures. Friendship, humor, and teamwork help them grapple with Bigfoot, a witch, gnomes, and a vampire. Grine's clean and appealing illustrations flow well. The art suits this whimsical mystery. Backgrounds are minimal, with more detail paid to the strange creatures and eerie woods than to the campers, and the palette is subdued, dominated by grays, lavenders, and blues. VERDICT Sure to be a hit with young readers, especially fans of the "Lumberjanes" books and the TV series Gravity Falls. The conclusion hints that more magical adventures await Willow and her friends, which makes this new series one to invest in.—Nancy McKay, Byron P.L., IL

Such a Fun Read!

Such a Fun Read!
Willow’s family have just moved to Nowhere and while her parents are getting the ghosts out the cellar (maybe literally), she’s been sent to Camp … Whatever for a week. Willow isn’t thrilled about the move or camp, but at least she’ll be getting a week’s respite from Gryphin, her younger brother.There’s more to Camp … Whatever than meets the eye, and it’s not just because of the thick fog that covers the island. There are the mysteries of the missing candy and missing children to solve, the cook is suspected of being a vampire and there are weird gnomes everywhere. The Camp Director has plenty of his own stories to tell and the island even has its very own spooky legend.“When the blood of my blood is spilled from a star, and the shadows of elves return from afar, I will once again walk this plane bringing death in tow.”Willow and her new friends, Violet, Emma and Molly, won’t have much times for arts and crafts at this camp. They’ve got too many secrets to uncover.Eleven year old Willow is adventurous and smart, and she’s never short of ideas or plans, even if they defy the rules. She’s someone you’d have a lot of fun being friends with, if you didn’t mind getting into some trouble along the way. Willow has hearing aids and her ability to sign becomes an important part of the story.I loved the illustrations and had no trouble following the story or getting to know the characters.The target audience mentioned on the Simon & Schuster website is 9 to 12 years but this adult loved it and is hooked! I can’t wait for the next volume!While I definitely want to explore more of Camp … Whatever (I have to see some fog leeches!), I’m just as keen to find out what secrets are hiding in the town of Nowhere and I need to find out if there really are ghosts in the cellar of Willow’s new home.Thank you so much to NetGalley and Oni Press for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.

Willow is unique in that she is deaf, but one quickly discovers how relatable she is. She is adventurous, kind, witty and mischievous. Secrets of Camp Whatever is a great graphic novel for kids any time a year, but is especially fun during the summer (as it is a youth camp) or Halloween season (as there are so many mysterious and even spooky and magical elements). I’m excited to introduce the series to my kids!

I would definitely recommend this book for middle school reading. It has a an easy to follow plot line, while also being very surprising!

I think kids in the 9-13 age group would like it. Wish they developed the other characters more. Mostly plot driven.

It’s so campy and I loved all the characters :’) the story turned out to be much more interesting than I thought it would be!! I found myself falling in love with the town called Nowhere ;) and camp whatever, its mythical creatures ; and of course willow and her friends! I will also be buying a physical copy of this book because it’s too good, I need it in my collection! If you like coming of age stories and like strange or the more taboo things in life, you will love this book. The artists did such a great job and I honestly hope you will give this book a chance :’D happy reading!

First off, this book is with color. I don’t really find many books like this! The storyline is great with lots of exciting adventures. Through friendship and bravery, Willow and her friends discover the many secrets of Camp Whatever.

What an awesome book for kids! It is warm and wonderful. Get this for your children and read it with them. You will certainly not regret it!

A group of kids go away for a summer camp they will never forget.

The main character in this book is a spunky girl named Wil, short for Willow. Her hearing aid batteries came up missing when the camp snacks mysteriously disappeared. Her quest to find them revealed that Camp...Whatever might be a little more than what she expected.

Werewolves, Vampires, Witches, Goblins, Gnomes, and so much more.

I can’t wait to introduce this Graphic Novel to my 5th grade students.

I felt like there needed to be more to the story. I did like the pacing but something felt missing. The characters were good and they had a variety of personalities.
