Dante N. Ferno is back and he’s trekking off to summer camp with high hopes of making a splash in this second book of the outrageously funny and highly illustrated series for kids 8 and up—perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Summer is here, and two-horned demon Dante Nimrod Ferno is spending the break at Camp Sulfur Springs with his angelic best friend Virgil. But as his plans to make friends and influence his fellow campers go wildly awry, and a counselor everyone else admires keeps getting under his skin, can Dante prevent his time at camp from turning into a total catastrophe?

Filled with snarky humor and loads of black-and-white cartoon illustrations in every chapter, Brian Gordon’s Dante N. Ferno: Camp Catastrophe is a fun, easy-to-read adventure that’s perfect for summertime or all year round.
