“Dear Mom and Dad, Please send the Army, the Air Force, and the Marines to come rescue us. Oh, and we’re out of S’Mores. Love, Kobe.”   The story of four kids who win a contest to attend the super top-secret “Robot C.A.M.P.” turns into a nightmare scenario where the robots want to take over the world by replacing them with artificially intelligent duplicates. A mix of “Diary of A Wimpy Kid” meets “Stranger Things,” this story is told in a mix of email and blog postings by Kobe Morrison, who’s making a documentary project of his experience. Below are sample pages from the first three chapters.
