Book Synopsis

Edgar, an extremely average, ordinary boy, is NOT happy that his mother has signed him up for summer camp. But he begrudgingly obeys his mother and gets on the bus, filled with anxiety. Having never been camping, he can only imagine having a terrible time. On the bus, he's forced to sit by a boy covered in hives-and this is just the beginning. When Edgar arrives at camp, his worst fears are realized. The camp counselors range from quite unfriendly to downright mean, adding to the stomachache that has been building since he packed his suitcase at home. Edgar feels all alone.
