My thoughts:

Camp Lenape is a middle grade/YA mystery.  This is exactly the type of story that I would have devoured as a middle-schooler.  It's a quick story that takes place at a summer camp.  A group of friends thine there is something strange going on at the camp and decide to investigate.  

I thought it was a fun mystery.  I enjoyed the characters.  They were well written and actually acted and sounded like kids in Junior High.  I appreciated that. It's  a short audio book with great narrators.It looks like this one is the first in a series, so I look forward to more adventures with these characters.  I would highly recommend this one, especially to any middle grade or younger YA reader.
