Alice Miranda and her schoolmates are going on camp, there are sleep outs, treasure hunts and other fun activities..... and of course there is a mystery waiting to be solved! This book was delightful! It was lots of fun, and I had many giggles! I adore all of the characters in this series, and I think they are wonderful role-models for children all over the world! Wonderful book!

Okay, I’m dropping everything to reread this series after finishing AM in the outback! This is going to be the weirdest order of rereading ever (100% based on mood) so, get ready for a it’s-sort-of-like-blogging-sess!
Rereading order so far:
1. Alice Miranda in the Outback (#19)
2. Alice Miranda on Camp (#10)
This one is a school based story, so it’s obviously a favourite! I loved seeing the Fayle boys again, and the friendships in this is AWESOME! (I’m thinking about that one scene at night which I won’t spoil but always warms my heart reading) and I was so excited to see the return of Ed with the fam too!
The only con of this book? Caprice. She infuriated the heck out of me, and I’m a lot like *facepalm* gotta deal with her in every book from this onwards. Arghhh! How the teachers are just blind to her *shudders* I mean, you’d think they’d have more trust in Millie since they’ve known her for longer, but nope.
Also so jealous about all the camp activities they got to do. Damn I miss those days!
