Bears Beware (Zigzag Kids #5)

But his best friend Habib is going, and it's Mitchell's birthday that weekend. He's just got to find a way to be brave, and scare the bears away!

I don't know of many other books set in such a program, so these books fill a real gap on libraries' chapter book shelves. Giff also has a knack for understanding the struggles of elementary schoolers and bringing them to life through interesting characters.

The ZigZag kids are going camping and Mitchell is going to be away from home for his birthday weekend. This weekend could go either way, so will it be an adventure or a nightmare?
