It's the last day of the school year, so it must be time for Wiglaf and all his friends at Dragon Slayers' Academy to go home and enjoy the lazy hazy days of a medieval summer. Ummm, not quite. Not when Mordred the gold-hungry headmaster realizes there's money to be made running a camp. This double-sized summer super special packs in twice the fun for fans of DSA, and there's a full-color 8-page insert that pulls out and includes a ghost story, jokes, and more. The Horn Book calls DSA "a hilarious and deservedly popular magic-propelled series set in the Middle Ages.
Although this is only the 17th book in the Dragon Slayers' Academy series, Hail! Hail! Camp Dragononka is the best book ever. It is filled with mystery, chance and fantasy. Without this book there wouldn't be such thing as a good book. Now shall I tell you the story? When Wiglaf is told to leave the hovel he lives in, he is more than overjoyed. So he goes to camp. The high is that he's there with his friends. The low is, his school principal who found a treasure map. He makes the campers dig for gold, but dragon ghosts are trying to stop them from finding it. I hope you like this book because it's really good.
a bit different

Most of this series takes places at the dragon slayers academy, and each book while entertaining, is very similar to every other book. They are more like episodes of a cartoon than novels, in my honest opinion. But this book offers sometihng a bit different with its double length and the fact that it takes place at summer camp instead of at the school. If you're worried abotu the length, then don't worry about it. The book still has the same fast pace as all the others.
