I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange of an honest opinion.
Having never been to a summer camp as a child, I love stories about camps. Camp midnight seems to be just like any other camp I read about: strict camp counselors (though this one is an actual witch), big bullies (though here they look especially monstrous), fast friendships (easy to be friends when there are only one other girl who looks remotely human).
The style of drawing is a bit unusual. Everything looks as if it was drawn by a child, in very bright colours. At the same time the characters are very expressive and convey emotions, mood and humour perfectly.
The message might be a little predictive – accept yourself and do not judge people by first impressions, but the story is very fun and doesn’t feel didactic a bit. I hope there will be a sequel!
