I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS, by Jeff Strand


The story: It's bad enough Henry's family thinks he's such a wuss that they send him to wilderness camp to make a man out of him. It's even worse that they're right! But worst of all--when the bad guys come to camp and Henry and his fellow campers are forced to use the skills they've worked so hard to acquire--it still looks like they're all gonna die. Which really sucks.

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG-13; Violence R; Sexual content PG; Nudity PG; substance abuse PG; magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (murder) PG; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: Strangely, despite the R rating for violence (a cold-blooded murder comes as kind of a jarring note midway through), and the occasional PG-13 language, this is a funny, action-packed story that just about any boy will like, except possibly the occasional muscle-bound athlete who just won't be able to relate to the general nerdiness. Anyone who's ever felt like a geek, or ever confused a video game with real life, will like this one!
