Summer is here, and Finley is getting ready for Camp Acorn! She can't wait to make crafts, eat s'mores, and prove that she's tough enough to get back to nature. Unfortunately, she'll be sharing a cabin with Olivia Snotham, who's not exactly the outdoorsy type. When nature calls and the girls get lost on the way to the restrooms, Finley's spooky ghost story comes back to haunt them. As they work together to find a creative way home, Finley discovers that there's more than one way to be tough.

In this compilation of two separately published works, Finley tackles two problems for her class assignments--invent something that will help the world, and produce a presentation that will define "art."

Every season in the Northwoods is a wonder of plants and animals. This book features detailed and fascinating descriptions of the natural cycles during fall and winter. Youíll know whatís blooming, crawling, singing or migrating in any month.

Finley can't wait for the class field trip to the art museum. After all, she's always painting and gluing and snazzifying and glitterizing. When Mr. Spark assigns a project based on the question: “What is art?” Finley figures it'll be a snap. But the more art she sees, the more mixed-up she gets, especially since bossy Olivia Snotham won't keep her opinions to herself. Finley starts to worry she'll never figure out the answer. As Finley and Henry make some art-rageous portraits of each other, they discover the power of art, and Finley makes her mark in a Fin-tastic way.

Finley can't wait to start the inventors project at school -- after all, thinking up new ideas is her thing. But when the prototype of her Supersonic Sibling Sublimator fails and her older brother plays a joke on her, Finley discovers that everyone could stand to lighten up a bit. Starting over, she creates a hilarious device guaranteed to make people laugh more and live longer. But will her entertaining invention work on the super-serious invention judges?

Finley is heading to Camp Acorn, and she's determined to prove to everyone that she's tough enough to get back to nature.

Finley and her best friend, Henry, have to come up with an original recipe for their school's crazy cook-off.
