The Turners #2
Camp Freakout
Leo Lennox is in trouble again - this time at school camp. The hilarious and action-packed second book in The Turners trilogy.
Leo Lennox has made a mistake. A massive, world-altering mistake. Now, the secret his shape-shifter ancestors have kept hidden for thousands of years is in danger of being discovered - all because he insisted on going to school camp.
It's no place for a thirteen-year-old Turner still struggling to control his ability to transform into animals. Surrounded every minute of every day by his classmates - including his secret crush, and a pair of terrifying bullies - Leo is going to find out just how much he still has to learn.
But when he discovers a fiendish plot, Leo realises that surviving camp is going to be the least of his worries.

The Turners: Camp Freakout is book 2 in Mick Elliott's fantastic The Turner trilogy.
In Camp Freakout we catch up with Leo a few months after the conclusion of The Turners, as he embarks on his year 8 school camp. Though Leo comes to realise pretty quickly that going on school camp was a massively huge mistake, he couldn't have foreseen just how humongous a mistake it was. With school bullies, no phones or internet, dayTurning and an evil plot brewing, Leo's latest adventure is just as action packed as his first.
Mick Elliott has done a marvellous job with Camp Freakout. I was excited yet a little worried about this book. The Turners was such an epic, crazy story and I didn't know if the second book would measure up. As it turns out I was worried about nothing. The Turners: Camp Freakout not only measures up it may even surpass its predecessor.
This fast paced, action packed adventure is perfectly written. With all of your favourites back for round two and some new characters thrown into the mix, the story is really entertaining and really draws you in.
After reading this book I have absolutely no reservations about the next one, only excitement.
Mick Elliott's ability to get readers invested and to keep them on the edge of their seats from start to finish is a marvellous gift. His descriptive writing makes it easy to picture what is happening and the fact that his characters are so well developed and well rounded, means that you can feel the emotions through the pages.
If you haven't yet discovered the awesomeness that is Mick Elliott's The Turners and The Turners: Camp Freakout, do it now. You won't regret a single second of your experience with Leo & Co.

This may end up being a long series of books as there are lots of tales to tell about the Turners. It's a book for young readers but I enjoyed it too. It was quite dark in places, with characters dying or being badly injured. I had a feeling the author was trying to ramp up the action and the darkness. It will be interesting to see where these characters go.
