Ralph is the only mouse living at the Mountain View Inn who owns a motorcycle--which means he has the perfect opportunity to explore the mysterious "summer camp" nearby. Ralph isn't sure what a summer camp is, but he's deterred to find out. One night, fed up with his younger relatives' pesky demands to borrow his motorcycle, h e takes off for Happy Acres Camp.
But once he gets there, he's confronted by a watchdog, a grouchy gopher, and an entire family of cats. Then he's captured by an unhappy boy named Garf. Ralph is desperate to escape...but maybe he needs to help Garf before Garf can help him.
Bevery Cleary's plucky Ralph rides his motorcycle straight to adventure in this classic, newly reissued with illustrations by Tracy Dockray.
