I like this book so much because I think its alot like real life. The main character, Natalie, is my favorite character in the whole series. Its really cool to pick up a book as good as this one because you cant put it down! It's almost like the book wants you to read it. After reading this book I had to get the rest in the series! I like Natalie beause she is a spoiled, new york, rich girl whos dad is mega-famous. In the book she is sent to an 8 week sleepaway camp with, pranks, boys, friends,...more

Natalie is not happy that she has to go to Camp Lakeview while her mother is out of the country-- she'd rather stay in New York City than to have to sleep on a thin mattress in a draft cabin, eat burnt French toast and shower in cold water every morning. There are some cute boys, and some of the girls in her cabin are okay, but basically the activities are all so juvenile, quaint and ... gross. Despite this, she has a decent time, getting into lots of scrapes with her new bunkmates. Natalie has...more
Natalie's Secret is about a girl named Natalie Goode. She is a city girl and after her mom tells her to go to a camp, she is forced to go. She is not so happy about this and she keeps telling herself that it's going to be okay. When she gets there, it wasn't like she was expecting, but she has no other choice. Natalie quickly makes two friends. After that, she joins two electives and quickly makes other friends. Natalie eventually starts to like it there but just when everything is going kind of...more
Nat is an average girl who has to go to camp against her will. Well, not so normal because her dad is a superstar. The story is about a girl who goes to sleep away camp for the first time. Nat, the main character is from New York so she is not so excited about being in nature. When she gets to camp she gets put in nature and newspaper as her activities she is not so excited about this whole nature thing! Nat gets lost in many ways in this book, physically and mentally. I thought that this book w...more

Also, this series is really good too! If you go to Camp Wapo, this will sort of remind you of it! There are 20 books in the series so far so keep on reading!
I remember obsessing over this series back when I started middle school. It made me wish I could go to sleep away camp for the summer so badly. Mainly so I could meet friends like the girls in these books. I adored the series so much that every Saturday, I made my way to Barnes and Noble just to buy the following book.

a good book about girls who go to a camp together and it's about their lives and their friendship with eachother. I loved this series!
As a girl, I was obsessed with books about camp, and I would read every one I could. Laura's Luck was the gold standard. I saw this large series while volunteering at my daughter's middle school library, and thought they looked fun. Shortly after, she brought the first one home and said she was going to read them all. I decided to revisit my old obsession and decided to read them along with her. I think it will be a nice series for her. She likes books about real girls with problems not too taxi...more

good book! have read all of the series, great 4 camp lovers like me!:)
I really like this book, even if it's a preteen novel. I freakin' love Simon! <3 But I have to admit that when Nat would talk about her father, I thought it was like...because he died or something. So unexpected. And I'm not sure why everyone got to worked up because Nat kept the secret. Only Alyssa and Simon had a real reason to feel hurt because they were her true friends and maybe Marissa/Julie. I like 'em too. :) But they weren't mad...

This is a fun book about a girl named Natalie. Natalie is from Manhatten. Her dad is a famous movie star, and her mom lives the high life. When her mom decides to send her to summer camp out in the middle of nowhere, Natalie is sure she is going to die before the summer is up. However, she comes to make friends, and realizes what it is like to be a normal child. She decides that she is okay with nature, and with being at camp.
I've always dreamed about going away to camp for the summer. Now, after reading this book, I yearn for it to happen more than ever. Going away to camp can help me make new friends, make new experiences, and build my character-just like what happened to Natalie. However, I would like to go to a camp that is in a better condition; not one that has spiders in the toilet seats and food that I do not know of.
I had to go back and read the first of this series after accidentally beginning with "Alex's Challenge" and the series is growing on me a bit; I have to admit I kind of want to read the rest to find out what happens to all of the girls. This was a little fluffier than the book about Alex which dealt with a more serious topic, but it's nice to have a mix.
It was ok. The reason I give this book 2 stars is because of the characters........they were very unbelievable. Natalie was practically "perfect" and everyone else was apparently rude....I thought it was stupid when they got mad at Natalie because she didn't tell them that her dad was famous.......I mean, its her her life, not yours.
I thought this was a good book. If you adventure/romance/and pranks then you'll really like this book. Natalie's Secret is about a girl named Natalie who is forced to go to a summer camp. She isn't looking forward to it and once she gets there she absolutely HATES it. The bathrooms are gross and the bunk isn't in the best shape. During the first few weeks though she meets friends and she also meets a boy named Simon who she really likes. However, there is a secret that she has been hiding. Her d...more
I think I liked this book because I've always wanted to go summer camp but never did. The story was simply written (it is a J book) but the plot had some little twists thrown in. The main character is strong and makes good, moral choices along the way.
This story is plain out amazing the laughter and fun writen in the paragraphs is un beleiveable it leaves you wanting more! My best friend read this last year and i decited to join her. It was a GREAT decition by reading it. I love this book almost to much.
This book was very well written. It's about a girl named Natalie from New York City who goes to sleep away camp for the first time. At first, it seems like a dirty bunk, mean people and gross food. But when she becomes friends with some girls and discovers that the country isn't that bad, it turns out that she enjoys camp. But Natalie has a huge secret, too big to hide. Can she keep her secret or will it get out? The first book to this series sets a good base to a 20 book series. I loved this b...more
This is the kind of story I think someone needs to write about my summer camp, to get kids interested in coming. There's not a lot to the plot, but you do get a sense of what camp life is like; enough to make someone want to go.
This book was ok. I might read the other 3 in the collection I checked out from the library just for something to read. I would much rather stick to my mysterys and fanasys. It was an easy book to summerize though :).
This Series is really cute. It's about a group of 11 year old girls who go to this camp over the summer. It's about their friendships, activities, differences, etc. Great Books that I recommend to everyone!!! :)
This book was really really good. I think its a great story and lesson about what secrets would do. If you tell one person everyone will know (TRUST ME IT HAPPENS TO ME)Read it if you want a great, relaxing, quite read.

I heart this series! there are so many and you really dont have to read them in order. they are extremely good for tweens and teens, and i love them! every time i go to the library, i look for new ones!
I read this to see if it was something my 11 year old would enjoy. It is about an 11 year old that gets sent to summer camp. I am sure if I was 11 I would give it more than 2 stars. :)
i already read the whole series of camp confidential sicne i was in 3rd grade. it was a collection of books i kept on reading for. a good series. i have asll of the books in hand too. :]
I really enjoyed this book. In the book she says she hates camp but as the weeks progress she likes it more and more. Natalie's Secret was one of my favourite books EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is really good, when you go to camp! :) It was fun to read, and It was fun to think about what would come next. It's a great book for girls!
