And as if wild animals, poison ivy and a camper nicknamed The Moose weren't bad enough, Junie Andrews has attached herself to him like a blood-sucking leech. Camp Scare would have been a better name for this place! The first rule in his wilderness survival book is to be prepared, but if Cody is going to make it through camp in one piece, he's going to have to come up with a few survival rules of his own.
