Willow and her friends are back from their summer at Camp Whatever, but the strangeness seems to have followed them back home. As dark forces start to stir in their town, Willow learns that she might be marked as a part of a dark prophecy from years ago. It's up to her and her friends to figure out what exactly that means. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for a copy of Secrets of Camp Whatever Volume 2 to review! The first volume was a lot of fun, and I was excited to jump back into this world. Plus, I just really enjoy Grine's art style in this series. It works so well.

I will say, I remember basically nothing from the first book and I was mostly fine at the beginning of this one. Though I was missing quite a bit of background on some of the side characters. The magical world we were introduced to in the first volume is expanded in this one, leaving off on a bit of a cliffhanger for another volume. I can see a lot of middle grade readers loving this, as it has magic and adventure and paranormal creatures. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I remembered more of what happened in the first book.
