Those anticipating-with or without some anxiety-an inaugural camp experience especially will revel in this realistic yet reassuring visit to Hi-Dee-Ho. Numerous droll particulars, including Gilbert's Martian-and-spaceship–patterned pajamas and the likable lad's hyperbolic facial expressions will keep readers coming back for more. DeGroat suspensefully prolongs a nighttime trip to the outdoor bathroom along a dark path lined with threatening-looking trees and, in a signature twist, Gilbert gets a chance to give Lewis his comeuppance.
