It’s not too hard for him to get away with it … until he gets so caught up in one game that he almost lets his house burn down around him. Oops. It’s time for some serious damage control – so Cam and his friends invent a fake school club that will make it seem like they’re doing good deeds instead of slacking off. The problem? A lot of people think the club is real – and Cam is stuck being president.Soon Cam is part of a mission to save a beaver named Elvis from certain extinction. Along the way, he makes some new friends and some powerful new enemies.
