Childrens Chapter

Welcome to Camp Mwhaaa-haa-ha-a-watha! This summer is going to be epic. Epically evil, that is. 'Cause I'm going to Evil Scientist Summer Camp! No annoying little brothers. No annoying zombie goldfish. Just me, my best friend, Sanj, our notebook of evil plans, and my truly evil (and totally forbidden) vampire kitten, Fang. We've got it all planned out.

Evil emperor of the camp, here I come!
