This entertaining story follows Will's wild adventure as he escapes a tech-free camp, showcasing friendship and the challenges of nature. Escape from Camp Boring is a delightful read.

In Escape from Camp Boring, readers are taken on a hilarious journey through the wilderness, led by the mischievous Will. After being caught listening to music in class one too many times, his frustrated mother decides it's time for a change. She sends him to a 'rewilding' camp designed for kids who can't seem to unplug from their devices. However, Will quickly discovers that this camp is far from the adventure he expected; it's more of a snooze-fest, devoid of any entertainment or technology.

As Will grapples with the monotony of camp life, he realizes he has inadvertently taken something that belongs to his brother. With no means of contacting him and a sense of urgency building, Will teams up with three new friends to hatch a plan for their escape. Under the cover of darkness, they embark on a ridiculous adventure through the woods, facing the challenges of nature and their own inexperience.

The group must navigate their way back to civilization, all while trying to return the stolen item and avoid the pitfalls of the great outdoors. Escape from Camp Boring is a laugh-out-loud tale that captures the essence of friendship, adventure, and the importance of disconnecting from technology, making it an ideal read for young adventurers aged 10 and up.
