Goodreads

Even without having read the first Arlo Finch book this reader found the adventure and supernatural story enticing.   Arlo is well developed as are several of the major characters.  Although I suspected something unique and strange when Thomas joined the Blue Patrol,  his true identity was a complete surprise.   Camp is somewhat different than girl or boy scout camp but certainly recognizable to readers  who were or are scouts.     Even with interesting characters it is the action that keeps readers on edge.

This is a series that will appeal to lots of intermediate readers and should find its way onto the shelves of middle school and public library shelves.   I need to read the first book and recommend that others do as well.
