 This book tells the story of little boys going to their first sleep away camp. On the way to the camp Gilbert's friend Lewis told him that there was a ghost at this camp which made Gilbert very nervous. After they arrived at camp they were told the same story again. Lewis scared Gilbert and started laughing. He was picking on and bullying Gilbert. That night when he went to bed he had to go to the restroom but he had to walk through the woods to get there. As he walked there he heard noises and got scared. He  pushed his way through and made it to the bathroom. There he saw Lewis hurdled up in the corner scared from the ghost and the tables had turned. Gilbert then told him that there was no ghost. This should teach the students not to bully and not to make fun of others. This also can be used to show that everyone is scared of something, but you can always overcome it.
