Yes, I think its a very strange name since there is no lake and its all dry.And when I was reading his name (Stanley Yelnats) I realised that Yelnats is just Stanley but backwards.Another thing that seemed strange to me was that why do kids go to jail or they could go to a camp that from my point of view should get banned for various reasons such as child cruelty,child labour,child endangerment and the dangerous reptiles and animals that inhabit that area,but i am curious to see what will happen next.
**** Good point about child cruelty Omar. Do you think the story is set in the past or do you think places like this still exist today?
Omar January 13, 2021
Yes,i think its a strange name.And when I read his name (Stanley Yelnats)i realised that Yelnats is actually Stanley but backwards,another thing that I thought was strange was that why would kids have to go to prison or a camp that should get banned for child cruelty\child labour.But I would like to see what happens next.

There is no lake which is pretty strange, but lakes can sometimes look like they are green because they are surrounded by lots of trees and hills and mountains also sometimes there can be lots of algae floating on the top so lakes.
**Excellent Skye, you will find out in the next chapter if this is true.
Skye January 13, 2021
There is no lake which is strange but Normally lakes are surrounded by lots
Of trees and hills or mountains which can give the lake a green reflection.
I think it is a good name for a lake. As lakes can have a lot of algae which is a green scum that
Can float on the top of lakes but also there could be lots of greenery around like trees and hills which give the
Lake a green colour. But there is no kind of lake in the story which is quite strange.
Yes it is a strange name because there is no lake.
The story is about a place with no shade. The bold boys were sent there to dig holes. It was very warm and there was scorpions and rattlesnakes living there. The boy in the story is called Stanley. He was innocent he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Excellent summary Luke.
Luke January 12, 2021
I think it’s a strange name as there is no lake there anymore. The book is about a boy called Stanley who gets sent to camp green lake because he done something wrong. It’s a camp for bad boys. They get sent here to work all day in the hot sun and dig holes all day. It’s not going to be a fun camp for the boys.
Luke January 12, 2021
I think it’s a strange name because there is no lake there anymore. The story so far is about a camp were boys are sent to when they have done something wrong. It’s not a fun camp they have to work all day in the very hot sun digging holes. There are sciripons and rattlesnakes and other dangerous animals.

Yes I think it is a strange name because there is no lake there and using the word camp makes it sound fun but it isn’t.

Summary.
admin January 12, 2021
Camp green lake use to be a lake and now it is a Center for bad boys. Boys that were in trouble use to be sent there to be punished and learn there lesson. The boys would try and get bitten by the Scorpions or other snakes so they would try to get out of doing a days work by digging a hole.
Good work Tadhg, I can only imagine how hard the work is if the boys are willing to get bitten by scorpions to get out of a days work.

Question:
I think it is a very odd name because there is no lake or greenery around.
Summary:
This book is about a young boy called Stanley and he gets bullied about his weight. Something went wrong and he got arrested but he chose to go to a summer camp instead of jail because he dreamed of going to a nice summer camp when he was a kid, called Camp Fun and Games. I think he is wrong about this camp! His family always blame his great granddad when something goes wrong. I think he might blame is great granddad a lot in this story….
Good observation Lucy, I believe it will be noting like Camp Fun and Games

Excellent Wayne, I like your thoughts on the colour green in the name.

Emma Kelly Harney January 12, 2021
My summary: The story is about a place called Camp Green Lake. You usually go to camp if you’re bold. Stanley was the name of a boy who was on his way to camp.
Emma Kelly Harney January 12, 2021
I think it’s a very strange name
Wayne nolan January 12, 2021
Yes I think it is a good name because when you are sick you turn green. I don’t think Stanley is in for a good stay in camp green. It won’t be easy.
Summary
Stanley is a young boy who seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is now in trouble and being sent mam and dad to what was ONCE the biggest lake in Texas.
This is going to be a good story.
Isabella Harte January 12, 2021
In the story so far they told us that Camp Green Lake has no lake but they still call it that because 100 years there was a lake but then it dried up. Now it where bad boys go to.
Isabella Harte January 12, 2021
I think Camp Green Lake is a strange name because I don’t think the lake was green and there is no lake.
admin January 12, 2021
Excellent Kyle, I never thought about the word ‘green’ in the name and algae may be the reason for that. We will see.
Kyle January 12, 2021
I think maybe its dried up and it looks green and there was probably algae there.
Summary
The story is about a young boy that seems to have a hard life. He has no friends and is overweight and his family don’t have much money so he has never went on a holiday. He seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time but that could be an excuse or the truth we will have to wait and see.

Good work Lucas. Do you think he may regret going to the camp instead of prison?
Niamh January 12, 2021
It is a wired name for a lake or a camp
Lucas January 12, 2021
Camp green lake is a place where bad boys are sent . There are snakes, Scorpions and death lizards.
A boy called Stanley chose to go here instead of prison and is brought by a guy with a rifle.
admin January 12, 2021
It is a strange name alright Aoife. Maybe there was a lake there years ago? When we looked at Ocean and Seas maps, do you remember the name of a sea that had decreased in size?

Excellent summary Amy. The yellow spotted lizard must have a deadly bite.
admin January 12, 2021
Excellent summary Tia, you mentioned that one place between trees had shade and that the boys weren’t allowed near it. This piece of shade seems to be in high demand. It must be very hot there.
my summury: the people that go there are all boys but all the boys are bad so they get sent to camp green lake. There used to be a lake there the bigest lake in texes but now that lake is gone. But you do not want to be bitten by the yellow spotted lizerd then you will die. Also there is a hammock but campers are not allowed in the hammock so if u get bitten by the yellow spoted lizerd u might aswell go on the hammock because no one can do nothing to you because u got bitten. my answer for the question And i think camp green lake is a strage name but maybe they dont want to change the name for the history for lake for being the bigest in texes
admin January 12, 2021
Excellent Amy.
Does it remind you of a lake we looked at in Seas and Oceans of the World?
Tia Martin January 12, 2021
Today the story began in a place called camp green lake. A very unpleasant place where bad boys go. At camp green lake the boys would have to stay out in the sun all day digging holes with rattle snakes, scorpians and yellow lizards. There was only one place that had shade which was between two oak trees between those two trees there was a hammock but the boys weren’t aloud to go near it. Some times the boys would try to get bit by a scorpian or even a small rattle snake. If a boy were to get bit by a yellow lizard he would die a slow and painful death. Stanly Yelnats was given a choice between going to jail or going to camp green lake. He obviously chose going to camp green lake. On his way to camp green lake he was the only one on the bus not counting the driver or the police. Stanly use to play with stuffed animals and pretend that they were at camp fun and games.

I mean it used to be a lake so they should change the name.
I think camp green lake a strage name because there is no lake but there was a lake there so maybe the people did not want to change the name of it to keep the history of the lake that was there before.
Carla Murphy January 12, 2021
I think it’s a little strange because lake water is normally blue not green.
The story is about a camp for bold boys who have been sent to the camp to work. There are dangerous animals there too and it is very hot.
