Lenny and Mel kick off their incredible summer vacation by doing something huge, something they haven't done since last summer: nothing. They loaf. They doze. They dig into the fridge and come up with new and exciting lunch foods. They're bored -- and it's great! Then August hits, and it's time to go to the cabin. This means piling into the car with Grandma and their parents at the crack of dawn, and driving miles away to breathe fresh air, climb trees, and play with sticks. Yuck. Dad says it'll be an "adventure." But Lenny and Mel know this is parent code for "bad stuff." Why can't they just do what they want this summer?
Lenny and Mel are back -- but they're undercover. The boys are on the school paper, writing about after-school clubs as only they can ("Chess Team...Fun time or deadly sport?"). The brothers pose as members of the Glee Club, where they question the meaning of "glee"; Debate Club, where they debate the merits of Mel cleaning his room; and Future Farmers of America, where the future looks bleak...and they write about what really goes on in these clubs. Facts...Are they true...or are they deadly?
