Original Novel #5: Lights Out at Camp
What-a-Nut
"We
have a three-strikes-and-you're-out policy here. You now have two
strikes."
Mark
Prescott is not having a fun time at summer camp. First of all he went
there so he could talk with his best friend, Patti. But she only wants
to discuss her new boyfriend. Then Mark finds he's sharing a cabin
with Joe Devlin, Odyssey's biggest bully, who gets Mark into trouble
with the camp's leaders.
Mark
grows irritated by the unfairness of his situation and Joe's obnoxious
behavior. Yet Mark feels there must be some hidden reason Joe has
become especially bad. Finally, Mark and Joe find themselves paired in
a treasure hunt that puts them in unexpected danger.
Through
his adventures at camp, Mark learns valuable lessons about friendship
and how God uses one person to help another.

Adventures in Odyssey can hardly remember a time when there wasn't a
Connie or a Eugene--or an Imagination Station. But there was. Now step
back in time as these exciting novels whisk you away to the days before
the popular radio show. Set in a time before the radio show, these
stories often reference the beginnings of inventions like the
Imagination Station, familiar characters like the Barclays coming to
town, and other AIO references that fans enjoy.
