The new swimming instructor at Camp Lone Wolf, Nessie McFarland, is anything but normal. And when she's in her scuba gear, Nessie's skinny black body, long neck, and little head remind the kids of the great legend of Lock Ness. But Nessie can't really be a monster, could she?
Monsters Don't Scuba Dive (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids #14) Reviews

Cute and funny. I think my 9-year-old niece will enjoy it.

It just seems like these kids get an idea that someone is some sort of monster, they want to stop it before it hurts anyone...then they realize that that person/monster isn't so bad so they leave it be. Which is what happened again in this one.
Howie decides that Miss McFarland is pretty much the Loch Ness monster, especially since her name is Nessie, they want to expose her...she saves their lives, and Eddie's life not once, but twice and they decide she should live in peace if she is a monster.
She wasn't hurting anyone to begin with, she was just sharing her love and knowledge of the waters with these people.
I do hope she stays at the camp though. And it would be pretty awesome if the Loch Ness Monster could turn into a human. -
I remember being confused by the cover of this one as a kid. It says it's about monsters but the picture is just of a woman scuba diving so I wasn't sure what about her was...monster like. Turns out its a lock ness monster story and the idea is the kids believe she turns into the monster when underneath the water. Decent little story.

I loved this series as a kid, so it was so much fun to read it with my niece. It held up well, especially how the books always leave a little bit of unconfirmed mystery at the end. There's never a moment where the kids are proven irrefutably correct, even to themselves, and I really like that.
-
I think I just don't like the books that take place at the summer camp for some reason. They've all been pretty lackluster for me.
-
I loved this series so much as a young kid. Still a fun time. Adding it to my little free library in hopes some other young kid who is into monsters can find it.

Another interesting, adventurous tale. The kids are back at Camp Lone Wolf. As usual, the camp has a new instructor with some monster-like qualities that meet the camp’s hiring requirements. The instructor in question is teaching the campers how to scuba dive. Due to her unusual behavior and Scottish background, the kids suspect her of being the Loch Ness monster.
This book can get a little confusing. The mystery at times is whether or not the camp’s lake is home to a Loch Ness-type monster, and at other times it is whether the instructor herself is this monster. This ends up being more confusing than mysterious. -
This is the fourteenth book in the
The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series. We've only read a couple of them so far, but our oldest really likes them. It's in the middle, so we get the feeling that we're missing out on some of the background history of the kids. But it's a fun story and we are looking forward to reading more books in this series. -
The collection of "The adventures of the Bailey School Kids" stories are among my all-time favorite children's books. Witty, mischievous and fun, these short and silly books continue to bring giggles to the young and old. Just as I have enjoyed them as a kid, my own children also love them today. I even catch myself re-reading them (alone) from time to time. What can I say? I guess I'll always be a BSK kid at heart.

The Bailey School Kids is a best-selling children's book series by Marcia Thornton Jones and Debbie Dadey. Its main characters are a group of four children (Eddie, Howie, Liza, Melody) who suspect some persons in the stories are popular folk lore or fairy tale characters. They are appealing because they mix a familiar story in with this group of kids. Mid-grammar school

2.5 stars. Cute but kind of simplistic with barely a plot. Aidan picked it because of the sea monster angle. He liked it but I don't know that it inspired him to pick up anymore in Bailey School Kids series. A quick read with nice short, fast chapters. Okay, probably best for early readers in grades 1 - 3.
