This book is about a girl named Ida May going to camp with her 4th grade friends and meeting a new girl (Liz), who winds up being Elizabeth Evans, Ida's best friend until she moved away to Texas. Ida ignored and bullied her, but Stacy was her buddy. One day they were going to sneak off with Nat and Emilee. Brooke tells them all that tasks are more important than friendship, but that day when they made glowing ladybugs, I-DUH ( Ida) and Liz-BUTT ( Liz) regain their friendship, and that night they sneaked off and eventually got caught. While the boys laugh at them, they come up with a plan to trick the boys.
