Book Summary

Bean is furious that her older sister Nancy gets to go to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp. Since Bean is only seven and too young to go, she and her best friend Ivy decide to create their own camp called Camp Flaming Arrow. They make themselves the counselors, invent strict rules, and invite the neighborhood kids to join. After a day of chaotic crafts and wild activities, Nancy returns home and reveals that her real camp was actually terrible, making Ivy and Bean realize their homemade camp was the best one of all.
