I'm not sure how it is that I've managed to avoid being embarrassed by reading young adult and children's novels
Why should you be? Most are more inventive, adventurous, and well-written than those grown-up novels which are about everyday life and dysfunctional families. And the librarians never ask me who the books are for. :-) It's a lot easier to find something that will interest me in those sections.
one of my best and most respected friends ran Camp Narnia (for grade 5-6 kids)
OK, that's like our year 5-6, ages 10-11? We don't have the camp phenomenon here and I'd have hated most of the ones I've read about, but that sounds very cool.
