Becky B's Reviews > Megabat Is a Fraidybat

Daniel's parents are sending him to the summer camp his dad went to as a kid. His dad is excited for him, Megabat is excited, but Daniel is scared. He is sure the lake is full of leaches, that he'll be devoured by bugs, and that it will be a week of misery. But will his fears be realized? Megabat has to face his own fears when he meets some wild bats who want him to go flying with them to a cave in the woods in the dark.

Both Megabat and Daniel learn some good things about fears and that it is ok to be afraid sometimes, and that you often have others around you who want to help you out in those times. Megabat tries to distract the young wild bat he befriended with camp craft activities, and the results are pretty funny (the camp counselors think the kids are pulling epic pranks...some non-mean pranks are part of the culture of the camp so you can tell why they think that). I like how Daniel makes good friends. Overall, this is a fun summer camp adventure for boy and bat.
