One girl. One sketchbook. One week with the world's most annoying relatives. When Ellie McDoogle's parents go out of town, she's forced to go on a camping trip with her aunt, uncle, cousins and baby brother, Ben-Ben. Ellie can handle mosquitos and poison ivy, but sharing a cabin with her crazy relatives? No way! From her aunt's many rules to her cousin Eric's constant teasing, Ellie needs her sketchbook to survive this family vacation!

Ruth McNally Bradshaw is a brilliant author! You will enjoy this book, if you like reading, camping and nature! It's really interesting and the pictures really help you understand what the diary/book is about. I borrowed another Ellie McDoodle Diaries (Most Valuable Player) and I didn't enjoy that one! It was because it was about sport and I didn't understand what was happening. That is why you always read the first book of the series initially!

I liked it because it had an adventure in it. I really liked Ellie. I liked her because she was an adventurous person and being a spy.

Ruth McNally Barshaw is an excellent author. This is a hilarious story about how Ellie McDoodle copes at camp with her Aunt Mug/Ug, Uncle Ewing, Cousin Eric/Er-ICK, Cousin Deana, Cousin Tiffie and her naughty little brother, wearing a crash helmet, Ben-Ben. For those who like Jeff Kinney's 'Diary of a Wimp Kid' collection or Lincoln Pierce's 'Big Nate''s, this is a brilliant choice.
