Best one in the series!
Format: Hardcover
My son is 12 and has been watching the FGTeeV family for a long time. He's read all of their books so far and he said this one was the best! He's very excited about the new Campfire book being released this year.

The shoes look very nice. Unfortunately, the shoes have absolutely no cushion. They are very very uncomfortable and if you are wearing them to walk at all, I would suggest a different shoe.

Great book for kids
Format: Paperback
My daughter is a fan of this family on YouTube. She is in first grade and beginning to read chapter books. This style of book has encouraged her to continue reading. She is on her second FGTEEV book And I believe that the pictures with words in that comic book style is an encouragement for her to continue reading. She really enjoys the story and all the bright illustrations.

We've fallen in love with these books. We love the comic style because I makes reading FUN again. My kids are learning to make sound effects while reading and it’s just so exciting.
