About this book
Jake’s first day at sleepaway camp is a total disaster—mix-ups, mishaps, and major embarrassment. Then something strange happens, and he keeps reliving that same first day over and over. Each do-over gives him a chance to fix mistakes, make friends, and figure out what really matters at camp. Fast-paced, funny chapters and camp hijinks make this a great pick for reluctant and middle-grade readers who like humor with a twist.
Setting: a modern-day sleepaway summer camp
