The Secret of Shadow Lake - (Creature Campers) by Joe McGee (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Norm is worried about fitting in at camp. Literally. He's not just tall for a kid. He's tall even for a bigfoot. Oliver, the only human at camp, has the opposite problem: he's small enough that a strong wind might knock him over. With the help of their new friends, Hazel (a hyperactive jackalope) and Wisp (a boy fairy who has trouble flying), they'll have to work together to earn their canoeing certification without disturbing the resident lake monster-or Barnaby Snoop, who will stop at nothing to capture Norm for his personal rare creature collection.
