About the author

Susan Wojciechowski, a former children’s librarian, has written numerous books for children. She says that BEANY GOES TO CAMP was inspired by her daughter Mary’s camp experiences when she was nine or ten. "Mary hated camp and wrote many letters home detailing the reasons why," the author explains. "I kept those letters because they were so funny, and now, after all that time, they still make me laugh."
