This time Charlie and his family stay home, and find adventure in their own Montreal neighborhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlie cant wait for school to be over. But hes wondering what particular vacation ordeal his parents have lined up for the family this summer. Canoeing with alligators in Okefenokee? Getting caught in the middle of a revolutionary shootout in Mexico? Or perhaps another trip abroad?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurns out, this summer the family is staying put, in their hometown. Montreal, Canada. A “staycation,” his parents call it. Charlie is doubtful at first but, ever resourceful, decides that there may be adventures and profit to be had in his own neighborhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd there are. A campout in the backyard brings him in contact with more than one kind of wildlife, a sudden summer storm floods the expressway, various pet-sitting gigs turn almost-disastrous, and a baseball game goes awry when various intruders storm the infield — from would-be medieval knights and an over-eager ice-cream vendor to a fly-ball-catching Doberman. Then of course, theres looking after his little brother, Max, who is always a catastrophe-in-the-making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Text Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eillustrations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ekey text features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.9 Compare and contrast the themes, settings, and plots of stories written by the same author about the same or similar characters (e.g., in books from a series).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 196g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 214 x 14 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781773065472\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marie-Louise Gay,David Homel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098898657530,"sku":"9781773065472","price":6.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e9d3dc3d24f8e195405d3434f28bee11.jpg?v=1633315000","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/summer-in-the-city-2","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
