Publisher's Synopsis
"When fourth grade ends, Ricky is on his own for the summer because his parents have jobs and his sisters are sisters so he's not interested in them. The summer begins on a high note as he rides his bike on adventures that include gathering old lawn mowers, baby strollers, and other things left by the side of the road. Summer joy changes to a roller coaster ride of catastrophes and disasters when his is beaten up and his bike is destroyed not once, but twice. Catastrophe follows disaster as Ricky works to keep his summer secrets from his parents, fearing they will get a babysitter to keep watch over him if they know some of the many things that have been going on."--Page 4 of. cover.
