Rumors say "Svarta Mannen" ("Dark Man") is there, pulls up tent pegs, frightens children with "hemlängtanbaciller" ("homesickness bacilli") and poisons the food.
During the first evening, twilight falls och Sune means he has seen Svarta Mannen in the woods, but camp manager Britt-Marie Rävberg says he doesn't exist, that it's just imagination and that homesickness can affect anyone.
During the rest of the weak everything is fun, nobody talks of Svarta Mannen and not even when the canoe turns over hand his hair is filled with seagrass, Sune longs home.
After first believing he has ended up at the concert hall instead, as a man plays the accordion, he soon learns he is at the right place, the department store.
Sune steals the cloth cat and puts it in his inner jacket pocket, when discovering the store using camera surveillance.
The store manager pays he difference, five kronor, for Sune being "honest and brave", and having "such a kind and clever girlfriend .
When Saint Lucy's Day approaches, Sune puts a boot as a star boy hat, and sings "Sankta Lucia, skänk mig en tia.
The music teacher runs towards Sune and tells him to take the boot off, he doesn't need to wear a star boy hat.
But when singing "Staffan var en stolledräng" ("Stephen was a fooly farmworker boy") he is sent to the classroom to draw, and soon the other students arrive to do Christmas decoration.
Sune paints the headmaster, sitting in the sauna wearing a star boy hat at his private area.
Everyone laughs, and the headmaster rushes into the classroom, telling Sune drawing a star boy hat was unnecessary.
Sune thinks he'll miss Sophie, and when he tells it she turns sad and starts crying, even if they will sometimes be able to see each other again.
Sune says goodbye to his old school class and gets a hug from Maria Perez, before going home baking gingerbread.
Sophie shows up, and declares that tomorrow she will go to Småland and celebrate Christmas with her grandmother and grandfather on her parents' side, and will not return again until 5 January.
