Rica Baptista: A Week of Shenanigans -- Janet Costa Bates

<b>Rica can't wait for Adventure Week with her grandfather! But when Grampy arrives with a sprained ankle, can they make their own fun at home instead?</b> <p/>Rica Baptista is living the good life. Grampy, the best Grampy of all Grampies, is coming to visit, and Adventure Week, the best week of all weeks, is finally here. Rica doesn't yet know if they will bounce on trampolines, go horseback riding, or even tour Fenway Park and watch the Red Sox play, but she knows they will have the best time ever. When Grampy hobbles into the house on crutches, however, Rica worries that this year's Adventure Week will be adventure-less. So she pulls out all the stops with the help of her best friend, Laini (who surely has eaten enough cachupa to be at least <i>part </i>Cape Verdean like Rica), from organizing a family talent show to secretly planning a whole day of playing cards and eating candy. Will it be enough to keep this year's Adventure Week from being a total flop? A sweet story of making memories during an unexpected stay-venture, sprinkled with funny and cute family moments.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Janet Costa Bates<br><b>Publisher:</b> Candlewick Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 04/30/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 128<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.30h x 5.70w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781536227666<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 2<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Low
