The Wildest Summer Ever

Previously released as Grins, Grabbers, and Great Getaways / Stormy Weather
School is out in Odyssey, and everyone is bracing for the longest, dullest stretch of the year. They could not be more wrong. A family road trip breaks down in the middle of nowhere, a mother bear corners two campers up a tree, a tornado slams into Whit's End, and a skeleton turns up behind a basement wall nobody knew was there. Who says nothing ever happens in a small town? As Whit, Connie, Jimmy and the others scramble from one surprise to the next, they discover that adventure has a way of finding you right where you are - and that God is never far behind it. Boredom doesn't stand a chance. Are you ready for the wildest summer ever?
