About this book
Geronimo plans a peaceful beach vacation with a good book, but everything goes hilariously wrong the moment he arrives.

With help from friends and his own determination, Geronimo tries to salvage his trip and find some fun in the sun. Fast-paced chapters, playful fonts, and bright humor make this a great pick for newly confident readers who enjoy adventure with lots of laughs.
