Bookroo's summary

Carlos, a mischievous first-grader, hides in a fire truck during a class trip, hoping to prank his friends. But when an emergency call comes in, his joke backfires. With firefighters unable to climb a tree, it's up to Carlos to rescue a stranded cat. Can he turn his prank into heroism and save the day?

From the publisher

Miss Popper’s first grade class is taking a field trip to the firehouse. Carlos wants to play a trick on his classmates, so he hides in the back of the fire truck. But the joke is on Carlos when the alarm rings, and the firefighters are called to an emergency. Lucky for Carlos, it’s not a fire –it’s a cat stuck in a tree. The firefighters are too heavy to climb the tree, so it’s up to Carlos to save the day!
