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. How long it lasts will depend on whether a former adversary gets her way.

The Call of the Bully is fun, exciting, and full of surprises—an adventure tale for middle-grade readers and anyone who remembers summer camp.
