From the publisher

Rodney Rathbone is back in this sequel to How to Beat the Bully Without Really Trying--but will his superstar reputation survive summer camp? Rodney Rathbone was expecting the best summer ever until his parents shipped him off to Camp Wy-Mee. Now he's in for the ride of a lifetime. Far from home in the great outdoors, he must outsmart--and outrun--a whole new crop of bullies, including Todd, the bratty rich kid, and Magnus, the evil Swede. Whether facing treacherous rapids or leading a nighttime spy mission, Rodney makes new friends and soon finds himself in the unlikely role of camp hero.
