Good book, very good for those who are starting with the English language and need to improve their skills, the story is very good, it grabs you, despite being a children's book it was nice to read.

The Wall of Doom is the 3rd volume in the Creature Campers Series, and once again, it was a winner for my grandson and I to read together! Norm, Oliver, Hazel and Wisp have a new activity to complete, an obstacle course. If their time is within a certain limit, they will get their names on "THE WALL". Of course with them all having different strengths, they will need to work together to complete the task. It was great to see the friends not only work together, but to cheer each other on. There is also a new creature in this story. We always enjoy the illustrations with their large, vivid characters showing expression and adding to the text. My grandson was able to take a turn reading some of the story and he enjoyed that aspect. This is a great series for anyone that enjoys adventure, camping, meeting challenges and creatures/monsters. The story flows well and is easy to follow. This is a great series to have in primary classrooms, home libraries and schools where children are beginning to read early chapter books.

These campers must take a challenging obstacle course on in Wall of Doom. It sounds easy enough at first, until they learn of how they are expected to complete it. Thanks to their last adventure, a once bad person decides to try and help them out however they can. Once they all get to the wall, they will have to somehow work together to complete it. As this tale comes to a close, someone gets a new role and these campers complete this obstacle course with flying colors. If you liked the previous Creature Campers books then you won’t want to miss this one.

The Wall of Doom is the 3rd volume in the Creature Campers Series, and what a darling book it is! Norm, Oliver, Hazel and Wisp are tasked with completing an obstacle course. If they complete the course with a fast-enough time, their names will be entered on The Wall. As I’m sure you know, this challenge seems rather daunting to the group, but they soon figure out, that working together goes a long way toward accomplishing a goal. This book shows how friends can work together to not only accomplish a goal but also to cheer each other on and provide support. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the story flows well and is easy to understand. This is a great start for readers beginning to delve into chapter books. I would highly recommend this book for parents, teaches and librarians. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

Read this to my 5 year old grandson because he was attending day camp while staying with me. He enjoyed the story and asked to read it again the next night - which means he really liked it.

I  received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I've enjoyed every entry in this series. I do wish each story was a little longer, but I enjoyed it and can definitely see my niece and nephew enjoying this! Fantastic ending to this story and I hope there are more.

Probably for 8-10yrs old but I’m 37 and I loved it hihi

I still think three and a half stars are about the limit for this series of early readers for those less than confident in their abilities to get a full book under their belt. We're thrust into the action of this day at the Creature Camp without a by-your-leave, and certainly no introduction to who these characters are. Anyway, the four oddball critters have the obstacle course to undergo, under unusual circumstances. Meanwhile, will someone's surprising promise last time round hold true? It's definitely not as easy-going as others in this series have been, with very awkward artwork where one new monster is concerned, and the way the focus switches from one aspect of the plot to the other might be more trouble than it's worth. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from having this to hand, just in case it is the kind of team-building action that makes a reader of someone, but I think this is where this series and I part company.
