Goodreads Synopsis: 

Megabat and his best friend, Daniel, go to sleepaway camp for the first time. Another hilarious chapter book in this laugh-out-loud series for fans of Dory Fantasmagory and Narwhal and Jelly.
Daniel is not so sure about going to camp. There will be bugs. And uncomfortable beds. And leeches!
Megabat can't WAIT to go to camp! There will be so much smooshfruit, and he loves a good sing-along.
Daniel starts to think camp isn't so bad. He's made friends, and his bed isn't THAT uncomfortable.
Megabat has made a new friend too. But his new friend wants him to go flying to spooky caves. And her mom is very toothy.
As Daniel is getting into the swing of things and starting to enjoy camp, Megabat is getting himself into one tangle after another to avoid going into the scary woods. But can Megabat overcome his fears to help save his new friend? Kass Reich's adorable illustrations paired with Anna Humphrey's hilarious text make for another unforgettable Megabat adventure, one that will appeal to Megabat fans and newcomers! 

Review: 
In this installment of Megabat, he and Daniel are off to camp and Daniel is not excited about it. Megabat does his best to help Daniel see the positives of the situation but Daniel is scared and anxious. At camp they both run into some trouble. 

This series tends to follow Megabat as the title would imply but he is always with Daniel so he liked to help him whenever he can. Megabat meets some brown bats, a little different than him and he learns what he is frightened by which helps him understand why Daniel was afraid of camp. This book was a great book about trying new things even if you are a little scared, but it also looked at some other child fears as well. 

Overall this was a fun read, it is quick and the story line is good. There are illustrations throughout to help refocus readers and help the story along, which is always nice. Megabat, while a but mischievous, is very sweet and has the best of intentions. You can pick up this book without having read the others in the series which is also appealing.
