Wendy and her brother Elliot attend Camp Jellyjam, a sports camp that promises fun and excitement. While Elliot is thrilled, Wendy is less enthusiastic about the sports activities. However, her boredom quickly turns to fear when she notices something odd about the counselors and the camp's obsession with winning. /n/n As Wendy digs deeper, she uncovers a horrifying truth lurking in the darkness of the camp. The counselors' unnatural happiness and their fixation on victory hint at a sinister force at play. With all-new bonus features, including an author interview and bizarre sports trivia, this classic Goosebumps adventure is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
