Here There Be Monsters by Robert Lowell Russell.

The Canary Yellow shirt read Camp Fit, but it didn't quite fit the bulbous pre-adolescent boy cringing in the cabin's corner.

Rows of bunks lined both sides of the room.

The boy's expression changed from terror to puzzlement.

Then nodded and put the book away again.

Do-over?
