Camping Chaos
by L. M. Nicodemo

A wasp sting leaves Max hopping up and down with the Super Fidgets and he devises a counting game to distract himself.
Meet Maximus Todd! He's the kid who can't sit still. Max and his friends are on a camping trip at Camp Friendly Pines when he's stung by a wasp. Max gets a case of the Super Fidgets and devises a counting game to distract himself. If he loses, he will have to forfeit his campfire treats!
