Liz at Marigold Lake — Callie Barkley

The Critter Club is going camping -- but are they really ready for a weekend in the wilderness?

When Liz invites the Critter Club girls to her house at Marigold Lake for the weekend, they are really excited for their camping adventure -- especially because Marigold Lake is known for having lots of wildlife! While the girls are there, they plan to do stuff like swim and canoe in the lake, go on a nature walk, and camp out.

But with every activity, something seems to go horribly wrong. Amy accidentally tips over the canoe when the girls are out on the lake; Ellie gets spooked by what she thinks is a snake on their walk; and Marion is not pleased about sleeping outside in a tent. Liz thinks her friends aren't having fun, and she starts to feel awful. Will the great weekend she planned turn out to be a disaster?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Critter Club chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
