The Order of the Poison Oak (udgave 2005)

Russel and friends become counsellors at a camp for children who bear facial scars as survivors of burns.

Russel makes mistakes but tries to make amends and learns from his mistakes. I like him. ( )

the author gets better with every book he writes. i thoroughly enjoyed this and enjoyed the twist at the very end ( )

Russel Middlebrook is back in this sequel to Brent Hartinger's GEOGRAPHY CLUB. This novel picks up right where the last one left off--Russel has been outed to his entire high school and now he is known as "the gay kid." Eager to escape, he jumps at the chance to be a summer camp counselor with his best friends Gunnar and Min as soon as the school year ends.

While at camp, the three friends have their share of romantic adventures, intrigue, and mishaps pretty predictably. However, Hartinger does a good job of keeping enough twists in the plot to keep it interesting. He especially has added much more depth to the three main characters to make this novel better and more mature than its predecessor. A quick and fun read and a sequel that definitely is an improvement on the "just scratching the surface" nature of the first book. ( )

The sequel is quite touching. While the Geograhy Club was good, this one shined. The story of the rainbow crow and how it tied into the children was precious. ( )
