Shermy and Shake, the Not-So-Unhappy Campers

By Kirby Larson

Unlikely best pals Shermy and Shake go on a fun road trip, meet a brand-new baby, and spend the weekend at a real sleepaway camp in a season full of adventure and steadfast friendship. Awesome-possum

Shermy takes his time and thinks things through, while his best friend, Shake, likes to jump in with both feet. But like peanut butter and sweet pickles, the two boys go together perfectly. Whether it's crafting leprechaun traps, going to Camp Hootie Hoot with the Owl Scouts, or tackling the school talent show (Shake wants to perform, but Shermy would prefer to cheer from the audience), they bring out the best in each other--even when things are tough. When Shermy's dog Wally escapes from the yard, Shake comes running to help Shermy search everywhere. And when Shake is nervous about meeting his new baby sister at the hospital, Shermy shows him how to hold her safely. Humor, worry, and excitement flavor a series of charming adventures in the fourth and final kid's-eye-view installment of this delightful series.
