A rollicking series about two best friends and their misadventures from Sarah Weeks, the star author of SO B. IT
Nat Boyd and his best friend Boyd Fink are about to spend a week at Camp Willomet. No homework, no parents…only bunk beds, bonfires, and toasted marshmallows. Neither Boyd can wait to go! But four days before camp starts, Fink comes down with a case of polka-dotted tonsils. Nat's got all his fingers and toes crossed, hoping Fink will make a speedy recovery. Otherwise, Nat will face Camp Willomet on his own, and there's no telling what might happen!

I found this book by looking around my house for books to read. One thing that impressed me was that the the book grabs the reader in. A quote that supports this, "Do you think we're going to have to see Mrs.West in her nightgown?' asked Fink as we walked to school together one morning." This shows that when you read this sentence you get lured in to what do they mean seeing their teacher in a nightgown. This helps me write my own similar beginning that helps the reader want to read more of the story.
