Summer Break Countdown

Eight-year-old John wants camping, beaches, and exciting adventures. Four-year-old Carmelo has even bigger ideas-Disneyland, ice cream every day, a puppy hotel, and maybe even a trip to the moon! Together, the brothers create a giant summer wish list and launch Operation Best Kids Ever to convince Mom and Dad that they deserve an unforgettable family vacation.

But choosing only three destinations is not easy. Soon, the brothers become official vacation planners-and official vacation fighters! With silly arguments, pancake accidents, family meetings, rock-paper-scissors competitions, and Grandma's surprise involvement, John and Carmelo must learn how to compromise, cooperate, and turn their wild ideas into one amazing summer plan.

Filled with colorful illustrations, laugh-out-loud family moments, and lovable characters, this cheerful story celebrates sibling relationships, teamwork, responsibility, imagination, and the excitement of planning a family adventure.

Perfect for children ages 5-8, early independent readers, family read-aloud time, classrooms, and young readers who love funny stories about brothers, vacations, and big dreams
