I think that my 5 year old liked the book because he's currently interested in camp and school. Eventually, Drew and Ray work together to save the day, and then the story is just like it's back to Drew being "good" and Ray being "evil" and that's that. Sort of, but it's all much more flat and kind of like a bad kids cartoon oh-I'm-flying-around-with-my-jet-pack oh-I'm-climbing-a-tree-to-grab-you. That's not really how it plays out, though. You would think that in the working together to defeat Grace Cale, the kids would learn important lessons and morals would come out. Lots of things like that really bothered me. Maybe they are both cheating at tug of war with their pencil and eraser, but the book will only say that Ray is cheating. But, then Drew will use the magic pencil to cheat, and that's treated as awesome. When Ray uses his magic eraser to cheat, the book is all like that's-cheating. Stupid things that happen and put me off this book are: The Cruel School dean, Dean Mean, keeps telling the kids to cheat. Cool School and Cruel School have to work together to try and defeat her and get the color back in order to finish the color war. In the last contest, the color war contest, random evil villain, Grace Cale, comes flying in with a jet pack and steals the colors. Now, at the end of summer, Camp Cool School will participate in a variety of contests against Camp Cruel School, culminating in a color war involving colored water balloons. All summer Camp Cool School has met on one side of the lake, and Camp Cruel School has met on the other, and they have not interacted. The story begins in the last week of summer camp. Each of Drew's friends and camp counselors has a Camp Cruel School "evil twin" who looks at bit like them but has some bad/evil trait.ĭrew Pendous and the Camp Color War tells the story of the two rival schools at summer camp. Each has a crew of classmates and teachers from their school (Drew goes to "Cool School" Ray goes to "Cruel School). His "evil twin", Ray Blank, a boy who looks like him, has a magic eraser that can erase things from real life. He has a a magic pen which can draw things that then become real. Essentially, Drew Pendous is the good guy of the story. While it's a series, the characters are basically pretty simple, so it's fine to start on this book (which is not the first in the series).

Just saying, since often the 5 year old will point at various things related to apps, TV shows, or video games and know what they are from kids passing things around and talking at school. Neither had heard of Cool School, or the main character Drew Pendous, or anything related to this. I have two kids who are an age (ages 3 and 5) to be very eager to get to YouTube and to appreciate a comic book like this. Layouts are a mix of paragraphs and illustrations, mixed with speech bubbles and more traditional comic book layouts.Ĭool School is a YouTube series, and this is a comic book adaptation of one of the episodes in the series. Amazon's Look Inside for this book gives plenty of pages to get a feel for what the reading level is. The recommended age is ages 5 to 9, or Kindergarten to 4th grade. Second, I didn't like reading it to him and it wasn't very interesting for me, but since it's a book for an age range where some kids can read on their own, that might or might not be an issue. First, the good and bad are so exaggerated that I thought it was a bit dopey. There are two reasons for me not liking it. He seemed to like it, but I'm not so keen on it.
