Publisher's Summary

“Summer camp is different from high school. Something about spending the night. Things happen.”

Geography Club's Russel Middlebrook is back, and he and his friends are off to work as counselors at a summer camp. Brent Hartinger's third novel is the story of Indian legends, skinny-dipping in moonlit coves, and passionate summer romance. It's also the story of Russel's latest club, the Order of the Poison Oak, a secret society dedicated to helping its members see life's hidden beauty and accept its sometimes painful sting.

Russel at summer camp - what’s not to love!

Russel Middlebrook has had a tough year in high school and is looking forward to escaping with Min and Gunnar as summer camp counsellors for 5 two-week cycles. The first cohort of campers are burn survivors and Russel struggles to gain their respect or maintain control. And while he makes plenty of typical ‘Russel’ mistakes, he also learns from them, forms bonds, and grows as a person. There was so much to enjoy in this story: the mayhem, the teenage crushes, the unbreakable friendships, and more. I really like Russel, Min, Gunnar and Otto as characters - they are all decent people I enjoy spending time with. Josh Hurley narrates the audio with great sympathy, humour, and expertise.
