Summer camp can be fun when your best friend is with you. But when Abby's best friend breaks her ankle before they are set to leave, Abby must go alone. What will she do? This funny story is a great read as you sit by the lake, camp fire or just in your own backyard as Abby learns that camp is full of wonderful adventures: and not just the identifying what the mystery meat really is!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jane O’Connor’s first novel gets a brand-new look!

Abby is thrilled when her parents agree to let her go to Camp Pinecrest with her best friend, Merle. But her dreams of a fun-filled summer are shattered when Merle breaks her ankle the day before they leave. Now Abby must face a long summer filled with homesickness and nasty bunkmates—all without Merle. Will Merle still be her best friend when she finally returns home? Will Abby ever really fit in at camp? And will the campers ever be able to identify the mystery meat?
