Bookroo's summary

Rick, a rock from Room 214's Nature Finds shelf, dreams of thrilling outdoor adventures after learning about rocks' exciting lives. Determined to escape, he ventures into the wild, only to discover that the greatest adventure might be the unexpected friendships he forms along the way. Will Rick find the excitement he craves, or will he learn that true adventure lies in the bonds we create?

From the publisher

Even rocks have big dreams in this sweet and wacky picture book for fans of Aaron Reynolds and Mac Barnett about a display rock who longs to explore the great outdoors! Rick is a rock. For as long as he can remember, he’s lived on the Nature Finds shelf in Room 214 alongside an acorn, some moss, and a piece of bark. One day, the teacher shows the class what rocks do outdoors, and Rick is captivated. Exploding out of volcanos? Plunging off cliffs? Now Rick’s determined to get outside–after all, he’s a rock, and rocks are made for adventure. But when Rick does make his way into the great outdoors, he finds it’s not quite what he imagined–and that sometimes the greatest adventure of all is being a friend.
