In this third adventure featuring Rufus and his guinea-pig-who-acts-like-a-dog, Fido, Rufus's mom, going "beyond normal, everyday parental cluelessness," invites the families of Rufus's two archenemies on his family's annual camping trip. Rufus's funny voice and the likable characters' relatable predicaments will keep readers engaged in the thin story. This is an undemanding, diverting read.
