Book Summary

Wendy and Elliot are sent to Camp Jellyjam, a sports camp, after getting lost on a family trip. At first, the camp seems perfect with super athletic campers and enthusiastic counselors. However, the siblings soon discover that something is very wrong. The campers are too perfect, the food is strange, and there's a mysterious 'King Jellyjam' everyone talks about. Wendy investigates and uncovers a horrifying secret: a giant, purple blob monster named King Jellyjam lives beneath the camp, feeding on the 'winners' and controlling everyone with a special purple jelly. Wendy and Elliot must find a way to defeat the monster and escape before they become its next meal.
