Reviews

After inadvertently conquering school bully Josh in How to Beat the Bully without Really Trying (2012), Rodney Rathbone should be enjoying a carefree summer before middle school. Instead, Rodney is sent to Camp Wy-Mee along with Josh. But Josh's bullying is nothing compared to that of the sneaky, conniving fellow camper Todd Vanderdick, whose wealthy father helped renovate the camp's facilities. As Rodney tries to outwit this latest bully and contend with wacky counselors and their unusual punishments, he still finds time to dream about an emerald-eyed tomboy. More over-the-top humor makes this good summer fare for reluctant readers.
