Camp Club Girls: Sydney's D.C. Discovery by Jean Fischer

Publisher info: Sydney and Elizabeth are on-site in the nation’s capital when odd happenings occur at the Vietnam Memorial. The Camp Club Girls jump into action. They use their special skills to tackle an adventure that leads them not only to Baltimore’s Ft. McHenry, but also to the heart of a terrorist travesty! Can they decipher the clues and save the president before the dawn’s early light?

Sydney's DC Discovery is number two in the series of the Camp Club Girls. In this book Sydney and Elizabeth find out that strange things are happening at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The other girls keep in touch and help out because they all saved up and bought web cameras. Kate, being a genius and all, made the website they went on to talk to each other and put a secret password that only the girls know. Elizabeth's uncle came to visit some friends in D.C. so Elizabeth came with him to visit Sydney. They follow men named Moose and Rusty around D.C. and try to find out who their boss, the Professor, is.

When Sydney and the girls think it might be Beth's (the girls call Elizabeth, Beth) uncle she is very upset and doesn’t talk to Sydney for a while after defending him. They soon realize that it can’t be Beth's uncle and they save President Meade. Sydney runs as fast as she can and saves the day.

I would tell you what/who she was running with but I do not want to ruin the surprise and the book. I thought that this book was even better than the first book Mystery at Discovery Lake!

Camp Club Girls & the Mystery at Discovery Lake by Renea Brumbaugh

Publisher Info: When six girls from different parts of the country end up as roommates at camp, they also join forces to find out what’s really going on beyond the crafts and Bible quizzing. Where are the strange noises coming from? And what’s the “DanGer” warning all about? “Camp Discovery” indeed! The mysteries seem as thick as the woods surrounding the cabins!

This in the first book in the Camp Club Girls series. This book was about a bunch of girls going to camp. They are put into the same cabin room. At first they do not know each other but they are soon friends and team up to compete in contests at camp. The girls know that they can not let a mean girl named Amberlie win. During the story, they play pranks and meet a stray puppy. Kate takes him in and names him Biscuit.

The main story starts when they find Sydney and Bailey running as fast as they can away from the golf course. They had heard some scary noises when Bailey was golfing. The girls team up to solve the mystery. The girls work together for both the contests at camp and solving the mystery. Kate uses her knowledge and amazing gadgets, Elizabeth uses her leadership skills and knowledge of the Bible, Sydney uses her speed and nature knowledge, McKenzie uses her knowledge of horses and other farm animals, Bailey uses her performing abilities, and Alexis uses her humor and Sherlock Holmes knowledge.

The girls work together to save the day. The girls end up calling themselves the camp club girls. This book was definitely one of the best books I have ever read! I am looking forward to reading the others in this series.
