The summer following his year as a third grader, Justin Case
(not his real last name – it’s Krzeszewski) is signed up for Camp GoldenBrook. The previous summer he went to Science Camp
and really loved it. Now he’s not so
sure he’s ready for more of a sports camp.
In journal form, beginning with June 20, Sunday, we learn
all about Justin and his plans for summer where he has absolutely Nothing to Worry
About. He likes gummy worms, going
barefoot and Science Camp. Although he
says he’s ready to go to Camp GoldenBrook, he is not ready to wear
flip-flops. For one thing between his
big toe and the one next to it is a huge gap where another toe could fit.
Wouldn’t you know it, Justin tries his hardest to fit in
with the other kids at camp. He does his
darnedest to dive for coins on the bottom of the pool, not to worry that he
doesn’t understand the game of Knuckle he and the other guys play, or that the
kids tease him about liking Penelope Ann Murphy.
All turns out well and on August 31, Tuesday, Justin journals
that he looks forward to September and the start of fourth grade, and especially
that there’s Nothing to Worry About.
