A heartfelt comedy told through letters written from camp to an unknown figure, Mookie tries to uncover the legend of the Lady of the Lake, make friends with literally anyone, all while trying to mask her errant pubes from the rest of swim class.

Written by Boco Haft and produced by Jamie Lee Curtis and Russell Goldman, Letters from Camp introduces Sunny Sandler as Mookie, Jamie Lee Curtis as Director Sue, along with performances by Edi Patterson, Jake Gyllenhaal and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.

Cute story, too many credits

It’s a cute coming of age story. But I don’t understand why one minute of credits & opening music is inserted every ~40 minutes or so. Once is enough, really.

Worth Pushing Through

Although it drags at times it’s worth pushing through to the end. Fun performances, though a little heavy on tropes, it’s the somewhat ambiguous ending that leaves the audience to fill in the gaps by treating us as intelligent that makes the experience worthwhile.

Blackhawk Boys

I love this series & so glad each book is about a different main character. Yet includes the rest as time has passed.

Thoroughly enjoyed this title!

I don’t usually enjoy audiobooks that are active out. This was so well done and I would highly recommend giving it a listen.

Although a little dated by this point in time, I really enjoyed this audiobook…

… I am a big fan of superman, and I have listened to quite a few of the non-fiction offerings here on audible. This one is one of my favorites, for sure. I learned quite a bit listening to Mr. Brick tell me about the history of the world’s greatest superhero, and I recommend this audiobook to anyone who has even a passing interest in the history of Superman.

Read along with parent

Cute story, best listened to with an adult present that is fully engaged. One boy has 2 fathers and the lead girl has none. You may want to explain this to your young kids considering the target age group of this audible.
