“We forgot to have our snack tonight,” said Chris.
    â€œLucky we had the bowl,” said DJ. “Otherwise Power Man might have had to catch the spider with his bare hands.”
    Ernie peered down from the top bunk. “Would you really pick it up with your hands?”
    â€œThat would be a dumb thing to do,” said Andrew.
    Chris swung around. He put a hand on Andrew’s shoulder. “I do not want to hear the word dumb coming from your mouth again,” he said. “Is that clear?”
    Andrew’s face went fire-engine red. He stared at the floor. “Sorry,” he muttered.
    â€œBack to bed, guys,” said Chris. “Let’s try to get some sleep.”
    DJ didn’t go to sleep right away. Thoughts scurried through his head. Wouldn’t a spider make a great pet for Power Man? DJ sat up, almost bumping his head on the top bunk. Maybe I can ask all my friends to give me one for my birthday. Maybe I can have a whole family of spiders! Fan-tabulous!

    Dear Lots-o-Fun Journal,
    Whew, no more spider attacks last night. It was raining when we got up this morning. So I had to wear my Power Man jacket. And guess what? At breakfast, everyone was talking about the tarantula I caught last night. Mike told them it wasn’t a tarantula. It was just a fishing spider. No one believed him.
    Today is our last day at Camp Lots-o-Fun. We’re all going home tomorrow. Today is Lots-o-Fun Day. We’ve had races and games and a whole bunch of fun stuff. Guess what else? Cabin Six got the most points. We each got a Camp Lots-o-Fun T-shirt. Fan-tabulous!
    We’re supposed to be resting now. I told Chris that Power Man never needs to rest. Chris told me sometimes he needs a rest from Power Man. I think that was a joke. Chris has a weird sense of humor sometimes.
    I think everyone has rested by now. Got to go—it’s time for our nature scavenger hunt.
    Scavengely yours,
DJ, a.k.a. Power Man!

    Chris handed Raj and DJ each a piece of paper. “This is a list of the things you have to find,” he said. “You’ll work in pairs. Raj, you work with Ernie. DJ, you work with Andrew.”
    DJ and Andrew stared at each other. Andrew frowned. DJ frowned too. Before either of them could protest, Chris gave them their instructions.
    â€œThis is a nature scavenger hunt,” Chris said. “Only things you find in nature count.” He grinned. “Get busy, guys, and good luck.”

    DJ read the list again. “Something old, something new, something yellow, something blue. Something rough, something round, something lost, something found.”
    â€œSo far we have a rock for old and a mushroom for round,” said Andrew.
    â€œAnd a pinecone for rough,” DJ added. Moments later, he picked up a twig. It was covered with tiny buds. “Here’s our new,” he said.
    Andrew shrugged. “What’s new about a twig?”
    â€œThe buds are new leaves,” said DJ.
    â€œOh, yeah, okay,” said Andrew.
    Raj and Ernie ran past. “We’ve already found five things,” Raj shouted over his shoulder. “Bet that’s more than you guys have.”
    â€œNot for long,” Andrew shouted back. He turned to DJ. “I know what we can use for yellow,” he said. “Follow me.”
    Andrew led the way to the back of the cabin. A clump of bright yellow buttercups glowed like sunshine. Andrew picked one.
    DJ saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was a gray, black and white feather. He picked it up and stuck it in his cap.
    â€œWe need something blue,” said Andrew.
    DJ thought for a moment. “Blueberries! Remember the blueberries I spilled when I caught the spider? We cleaned them up, but maybe we missed one.”
    They raced into the cabin and started searching.
    â€œI see one,” said Andrew.
    DJ spun around. As he did,
