his foot came down, smack on top of the blueberry. “Oh, no,” he groaned.
    â€œMaybe it’s stuck to the bottom of your shoe,” said Andrew.
    DJ yanked off his shoe. On the bottom was a blue blob. He showed it to Andrew. “All we’ve got is a blobby blue blueblerry,” he said.
    Andrew looked at DJ and burst out laughing. “No, we’ve got a bobby blue booblerry,” he said.
    DJ clutched his stomach. “Or a blobbily blue booblerry.” He and Andrew collapsed in a giggling, snorting heap.

    Outside, Chris’s whistle shrilled. “Time’s up,” he called.
    DJ scrambled to his feet. “We haven’t got a lost yet, or a found.”
    Andrew frowned. “Wait a minute.” He pointed to DJ’s cap. “Your feather can be our found.”
    â€œBut we still don’t have a lost,” said DJ.
    Chris came into the cabin. Raj and Ernie were right behind him. “Did you find everything on the list?” asked Raj.
    â€œWe found everything except round,” said Ernie.
    â€œWe found everything except lost,” said Andrew.
    â€œLet’s have a look,” said Chris.
    Raj held their bag open.
    Ernie pulled out a smelly pinecone for old and a seedpod for new. For yellow and blue they had a mushroom with a yellow cap and half a robin’s eggshell.
    â€œWhat do you have for rough, lost and found?” asked Chris.
    Raj produced a piece of bark for rough and a snail shell for found. “And look what we have for lost,” he said. He held up a slim brown object. “A porcupine quill.”
    â€œThat’s not a porcupine quill,” said Andrew. “It’s a pine needle.”
    â€œI told you it was a pine needle,” said Ernie.
    â€œIt still counts,” said Raj. “The pine tree lost one of its needles.” He looked at Andrew. “Let’s see what you found.”
    Andrew and DJ spread out their finds.
    â€œI don’t think we should count the squashed blueberry,” said Raj. “You found it indoors.”
    â€œSquashed or not, it’s still blue,” said Chris. “And blueberries grow in nature.”
    â€œYou still didn’t find everything on your list,” said Ernie. “So no one won.”
    While everyone was talking, DJ was using his Power-Man thinking. “We did win!” he said. He snatched up the feather. “This is our found and our lost,” he declared. “A bird lost the feather before we found it.”
    â€œNo fair,” said Raj. “You can’t use one thing for both.”
    â€œI think it is fair,” said Chris. “I didn’t say you couldn’t use the same item twice.” He turned to DJ and Andrew. “Congratulations, guys. You two make a good team.”
    DJ and Andrew grinned and gave each other a high five.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
G OING H OME
    After breakfast the next morning, everyone packed up to go home. DJ put Sockster into his backpack extra carefully. He checked twice to be sure Sockster was safe.
    Soon the buses were loaded. Chris sat beside DJ. He put his seat back and closed his eyes.
    DJ pulled his journal out of his backpack.
    Dear Lots-o-Fun Journal,
    We’re ready to go home. We’re just waiting for the bus driver.
    Camp Lots-o-Fun was LOTS OF FUN. I feel sad saying goodbye to Chris and the guys in my cabin. But guess what? They’re all coming back next summer. And we are all going to ask if we can be in the same cabin again. Even Andrew. He’s really nice when you get to know him. And guess what else—I got the award for the Most Fun Camper. I voted for me, and so did everyone else.
    I got a postcard from my mom a couple of days ago. She said things are really quiet when I’m not around. I’ll bet they have all been really bored. But they’ll start having fun again when I get home.
    That’s all the news for now. Wait a minute. The driver just got on the bus. He looks
