One of them &#8212; a spoiled brat from an uber-wealthy family &#8211;deeply resents being sent there by his parents. But as the summer progresses, he begins to forge some unlikely friendships, both with his fellow campers and with the indigenous wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When one of the campers finds a strange looking lizard stranded in a hot spring-fed pool, the two nickname the rescued reptile &#8220;Needles&#8221; and attempt to nurse him back to health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the camp has a strict no-pets rule, they keep Needles hidden in a unused utility shack. But how long will their secret be safe? Can the campers who discover what they&#8217;re doing be trusted not to spill the beans?
