But this summer, Winston, the new camp director doesn't like losing, and he's not about to start. Led by the main protagonist, Mack, and his best friend Andre, the boys in Cabin 10 have a different plan. They're going to lose like they've never lost before, at every sport, but especially at the baseball tournament with the three nearby powerhouse camps. That way, they'll get their summer back! -- From statement provided by publisher.
