Age 5-7-Story-Europe: The Day of Camp Crazy by Rory Rankin

The Day of Camp Crazy Shinoy and Toby lay gazing at the clouds in Camp Creation. Suddenly, a booming voice took over the loudspeakers saying, ‘This is no longer Camp Creation - it is now Camp S.N.A.I.R!’ ‘Quick, it’s S.N.A.I.R, put on your earphones! He might try to hypnotise us,’ said Shinoy. So, they jammed them in just in time to block out an ear-splitting song. Everyone else’s eyes turned red. Then, Shinoy shouted, ‘Call to action Chaos Crew!’

Streaking from his phone’s screen, Bug and Lazlo appeared. Shinoy explained that S.N.A.I.R had hypnotised the campers.

Then the crew heard S.N.A.I.R saying: ‘My followers, make me giant robots of destruction!’

Luckily, Shinoy had a plan. ‘Bug, try to stop them making these robots, and Lazlo, try to stop the hypnotism!’

Lazlo crept around the wood to the camp Director’s office. He peered through the window to see S.N.A.I.R’s sneering robotic face. ‘I think I’ll go and check on my robots,’ said S.N.A.I.R. This was Lazlo’s chance! As S.N.A.I.R left, Lazlo slipped silently through the window, and noticed a countdown on one of the walls. A sign pinned above it read, Hypnotism permanent in…. Lazlo immediately started searching the control panel for the off button. With only 2 seconds to spare, he slammed his fist down on the button. The song stopped.

Meanwhile, Bug sneaked into the factory area, dashed under the conveyor belt, and, on hands and knees, started crawling along beneath it. She reached up and pulled out all the wires she could, but accidentally knocked someone’s leg.

There were screams of, ‘INTRUDER!’ all around her. Bug pelted across the room, propelled herself through the door and slammed it shut.

As she leaned, gasping for breath, against the door, Lazlo and Shinoy appeared. Shinoy exclaimed, ‘Good work Chaos Crew!’ as S.N.A.I.R’s voice bellowed, ‘NOOOOOO!’.
