Brief Summary
Three months before getting married at age thirty-four, Josh Wolk decides to treat himself to a "farewell to childhood" extravaganza: one last summer working at the beloved Maine boys' camp where he spent most of the eighties. And there he finds out that there's no better way to see how much you've changed than to revisit a place that hasn't changed at all.

Pro Reviews
"Sweet, crude, self-effacing and hilarious, Josh's book will bring back fond memories of summer camp, even if you never went to one." -David Hyde Pierce
"Josh Wolk proves that, if you can't go home again, you can go back to camp, and he proves it hilariously, expertly, and touchingly." -Ted Heller, author of Slab Rat
"Yes, Cabin Pressure is funny and entertaining. But it's also inspiring, nostalgic and sentimental in the best possible way. It's Bug Juice for the soul." -Al Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Man in the World
