Bookroo's summary
Thanksgiving at Grandma's seems dull to Gavin until his cousin Rhonda suggests a daring escape to the backyard swing set. But with sweater-clad guard dogs, clingy aunts, and the formidable 'great wall of butts' in their way, can they find adventure before the turkey is served? Join Gavin and Rhonda on a hilarious quest to turn a mundane holiday into a memorable escapade. Will they outsmart the obstacles and seize the day, or will they be caught in the clutches of family tradition?
From the publisher
It’s another Thanksgiving at Grandma’s. Gavin expects a long, boring day full of pesky toddlers, but his cousin Rhonda has a different idea: make a break for it to the swing set in the backyard! Gavin isn’t so sure, especially when they encounter vicious guard dogs (in homemade sweaters), overly affectionate aunts, and worst of all, the great wall of butts. Can they avoid all the obstacles and find some fun before turkey time?
