Morgy thinks Outlook Music Camp is a long way to go to get good at the
trumpet. It’s almost Canada! But Colonel Profundo gave him a “promising
beginner” scholarship. His friends Byron and Clara are coming, too. Dad says,
“It’s not just for trumpet—it’s summer camp and you’ll love it.”
But Dad doesn’t know the half of it. There’s canoeing, swimming, soccer, and
wild games of musical chairs. But there’s also Damian, an oboe prodigy and
bully. And Byron and Clara are in band while Morgy’s stuck in orchestra,
playing a solo. What is Morgy supposed to do if he can barely read music, he
misses his dog, Dante, and his cat, Pancake, his best friend is in love with their
trumpet teacher, and he sees soldiers in three-cornered hats sneaking through
the camp at night?
Keep practicing, of course!
Perfect for the budding musician, summer camp enthusiast, or reluctant camp attendee, Morgy’s Musical
Summer is a fun frolic through the pages for any reader.
