If you enjoy Red Dawn you will enjoy this. An Australian movie based a series of books. A bunch of teens find out that their home has been invaded while they were camping.

Nashville is the next stop on the summer camping trip. After introducing the reader to Nashville hotspots, a trip to a famous honky-tonk bar leaves Irma and by extension Mabel and her camping buddies with the task of discovering who murdered two people two decades ago.

“If you like wacky characters, quick-witted banter, and crooners with a twang, then you’ll love Rita Moreau’s clever caper…”



It is always fun when a promise is made and kept. This book is full of wacky characters with snappy dialogue that makes turning the page a privilege rather than a chore. The well-written, quirky characters are the core of the story and with a couple of new additions to those returning from book one, there is more to love this time around.

The mystery comes at a fair pace and makes this book a quick steady read. This is the second book in the series and reads well enough as a standalone, but for the full effect of the camping summer of fun picking up book one is recommended.

Highly recommended for both new and longtime campers!
This book was so much fun! So much more than just a cookbook, it had everything from healthy, delicious looking recipes to tips on virtually every aspect of camping! As an avid longtime (& sometimes full-time) camper myself it was great to see so many little helpful tidbits for those just heading out into the woods as well as some awesome ideas for our next trip out.

So much more informative than any camping cookbook I've seen - Humourous and inspirational stories and tidbits like 12 different ways to make a s'more and a huge list of delicious sounding pancake toppers. Helpful tips about foraging, pets, wildlife, fun illustrations, even car games & fun for the kids!

Fabulous book and beautiful cover - Highly recommended for both new and longtime campers!

I honestly had not seen this film for several years. I decided to watch it with my family on a whim while we were on a camping trip. I turned it on and realized just how well done this movie really was. There were a couple of effects that didn't hold up as well as they should have, but I was really surprised at how much I really enjoyed this movie.

Old school Thriller
A good Thriller as Morgan Freeman playing an assassin escapes police custody. In the wilderness John Cusack and his son are on a camping trip and find him. Meanwhile Freeman's team are in pursuit.
A good chase thriller set in the wild with a cat and mouse plot to see who can evade who and survive. Might still be on Netflix currently.
