Camping in the wild / by Oldland, Nicholas.;
A bear, a moose and a beaver decide they're finally going to go camping, and they find the perfect spot right next to a lake. The moose has brought along a camping guide with tips such as: make sure your tent poles and guidelines are securely tied; never leave a campfire unattended; and keep your food packed away in a secure container ... none of which they follow! Who would want to work when there is fun to be had? Naturally, one thing after another goes wrong, so, naturally, they start blaming each other. Lucky for them, though, the wild is a great place to be reminded of the most important thing of all: Everything is better when they work together!

But Valery, Jericho's boss--and a notoriously powerful mage--has other plans. It soon becomes clear that Valery can't, or won't, provide assistance. And as Joss's relationship with Jericho becomes more confusing than ever, she realizes that she'll have to find her own way out of this magical mess, with or without help from those around her. Amid high tensions, Joss sets out to learn to control the memory magic--along with her own natural powers. As the struggle between Lord Banyon and the Queen threatens the people Joss cares about, she stumbles onto hints of a monumental royal secret.
