Bookroo's summary

Pinky faces his first camp experience with dread, while his friend Rex is thrilled. As Pinky grapples with his fears, he turns to the 'Dear Arnie' column and his mother for guidance. But it's Rex who offers the insight Pinky truly needs. Will Pinky find the courage to embrace the adventure, or will his fears keep him from discovering the joys of camp life?

From the publisher

Pinky and Rex are going to camp for the first time. Rex keeps telling Pinky how much fun they’re going to have, but Pinky just wants to stay home where he belongs. Can the Dear Arnie column in the newspaper help Pinky figure out what to do? Arnie give Pinky some good advice, and so does Pinky’s mother. But it’s his best friend Rex who tells Pinky what he really needs to know.
