Naked at Camp Freedom — Russell James

I can't believe this new kid Xander. Forced to bunk with each other at Camp Freedom while surrounded by fifty other boys who are all a couple years older, Xander hits me with the strangest question: "Do you like me?" What does he mean by that? Between him and trying to survive Carlton, the camp bully, I wonder how I'm going to get through this week at camp alive. Then every changes when I get into the water. A prequel to Russell James' surprisingly heart-felt "Naked," this story tells how ten-year-old Mitchell changes from a nutty yet modest kid to a boy who's fully embraces how fun life is without clothes.
