Customer Reviews

an ok book

smallville books are just too g rated. the show is not a children's show so why are all the books for the 10 and under group? this one finds the smallville teens working at a summer camp for children from metropolis and smallville combined for a week.pete gets a harebrained ideal on how to make some quick cash and will go to any extreme to get it even if it involves clark using his abilities and getting exposed. this book has an ok plot but the scenes with clark and lana, does the author even watch the show? get for real on those lines.

I Had my Likes and Dislikes

I was happy to have read a Smallville book where Pete was part of the plot. The book was a easy read and simi-interesting. The story is about the gang (Clark, Lana, Chloe, and Pete) all signing up to become camp counselors at a local youth camp for inner-city kids. After falling into crater lake and almost drowning, one of the young campers developed the ability to foretell the future. This kid pretty much confided into the Clark about his abilities. Meanwhile, Pete is trying to earn some extra cash by betting on a basketball game held at the camp. Pete puts quite a sum of money on the line and uses reverse psychology to get Clark to play. Clark wins the game and feels very disappointed because he thinks he cheated because of his abilities. Anyway, Lionel Luther learns of the boys ablitily to tell the future and devises a devilish plan that sent Clark into search and rescue mode. In the end, all is well in the small town of Smallville and everyone is happy. By the way, Lex and Pete does the unthinkable...check out the book to find out!!!!
