Bookroo's summary

Roosevelt Banks desperately wants to join his friends on a camping trip, but there's a catch—he needs a bike. His parents promise him one if he can be good for two weeks. As Roosevelt struggles to balance being well-behaved with staying fun, he finds himself in unexpected trouble. Will he manage to earn the bike, or discover something more valuable along the way? Dive into Roosevelt's adventure and find out if friendship outweighs the promise of a new bicycle.

From the publisher

When ten-year-old Roosevelt Banks discovers that his two best friends are planning a bike and camping trip, he wants more than anything to go along. There’s just one problem–he doesn’t have a bike. Roosevelt’s parents agree to buy him a bike if he can manage to be good for two whole weeks. How can Roosevelt be good and be the same fun guy his friends want on the camping trip? Trying to be good leads to more trouble than expected–and to the discovery that being a good friend is more important than any bicycle.
