Descripción / Camporee Of Doom
New in the Misadventures of Peter Paul Pappenfuss series.
Peter Paul Pappenfuss is a pastor’s kid. And he’s a well-known goof off in a small church school in Iowa with the large name of Davenport Christian Academy. He could hardly wait to go to the Pathfinder Camporee. What fun he would have! Or so he thought.
Peter Paul discovers that one can be punished for good deeds—not that all of his deeds were good. And sometimes his creative mayhem surpassed his own expectations. But on the third night of the camporee at the Esther play “Courage to Stand,” he bowed his head and prayed,
“Dear God, please give me courage to stand up against evil.”
“In order for you to fully appreciate Pierce’s storytelling, you have to stop being an adult and crawl back into the eleven-year-old you; the youngster you used to be before everything got so serious. His main character, Peter Paul Pappenfuss, represents many of us who struggled to survive our “members of God’s Remnant Church” childhood. Finally, someone has written down what it was like. Thank you, Seth Pierce, for giving voice to the Peter Paul Pappenfuss in so many of us!” --Charles Mills, author, editor, and radio host.

Reseñas de cliente
It is the tale of a pastor's son (Peter) going to an international camporee at Osh Kosh with his small Pathfinder club, which includes a substitute youth leader who's wrapped around his daughter Lacey's pinky, hyper Harvey, Gretchen the only other girl, and a visiting Pathfinder from Sri Lanka who gets right into the mix with the other boys. (You can already imagine what recipe this combination of personalities would cook up.)
The dialogue of the characters, their thoughts and actions are spot on representations of real-life tweens/teens. The book touches on things like personal responsibility, respect, belonging to a group, self-control, team spirit, bullying, relating to leaders, crushes, friendship, loyalty, mischief, faith, problem-solving, and social dynamics of middle school age kids.
Seth J. Pierce did a superb job writing this book, capturing the wonders of this stage of life. Chock full of excitement, sarcasm, hope, hijinks, friendship, and faith, this book is sure to engage and encourage any middle schooler.
