Meet Isaac, an energetic 9-year-old whose love for reading has found a perfect match in The Campfire Gang series. In a recent phone call between Isaac and the author of The Campfire Gang, Roy Smith, he shared some delightful insights about his favorite characters and moments from the series.
Isaac’s Favorites:
- Favorite Hobby: Reading! Isaac loves exploring exciting worlds through books. He also enjoys drawing the characters from The Campfire Gang, with the Butcher Bear and Bat Birds being his go-to creations.
- Favorite Character: Toby! According to Isaac, “He’s funny and he’s a doer,” making Toby an instant favorite.
- Favorite Book: The 7th book, Miracles, Mazes and Memories, is Isaac’s all-time favorite. He couldn’t stop laughing while reading, especially during the part where the boys fall into a heap of dung. Roy and Isaac shared a giggle session, bonding over the humor of dinosaur poop.
- Memorable Moments: Isaac burst into laughter when talking about BB’s creative way of crossing the Impossible River. Farts are always funny!
- Favorite Lizlard Name: Of all the comical Lizlard names, Tinkerbutt takes the prize as Isaac’s favorite.

“I originally found this series at the FPEA homeschool convention. I purchased book 1 and read it that afternoon. I loved it so much that I went back and purchased books 2 through 8 for my boys. They absolutely loved reading this series and we cannot wait for book 10 to come out so that we can order books 9 and 10 to complete our set. We can’t thank Dr. Roy Smith enough for creating these books and instilling strong friendships and Christian values throughout these amazing stories.”
“These are wonderful books! I got the first two for my six year old grandson. His Daddy is reading them to him each night before bed. My grandson can’t wait to hear the story each night! He wants all the books in this series! Thank you for a wonderful read for young folks!”
