Bookroo's summary

Stink's spring break dilemma: stay home with his sister or join Shakespeare camp with his friend Sophie. Lured by swordplay and curses, he chooses camp, only to find himself the lone boy among Sprites, including the notorious Riley Rottenberger. Can Stink navigate the theatrical chaos and unexpected challenges, or will he be overwhelmed by the drama? Discover the hilarity and surprises that await in this camp adventure.

From the publisher

It’s spring break, and Stink is faced with a difficult choice: hang out at home with his sister, Judy, or become a Shakespeare Sprite with his friend Sophie of the Elves. Hanged be! When Sophie tells Stink that there will be swordplay and cursing at Shakespeare camp, his choice is made. But wait! How now? The eager young thespian hadn’t counted on Riley Rottenberger being a Sprite, too. And he positively had not counted on being the only boy! Fie upon’t!
