My Cave City Adventure with Aunt Kate Karen Lisa Shaper

In this charming adventure story, a city boy learns how to survive life in the country-and finds unexpected adventures.



At first, SJ doesn't want to spend the summer with his great-aunt Kate. As every kid in his class looks forward to summer vacation, he is the only one who will be spending it in Cave City, Kentucky. Instead of lazy days on the couch playing video games with his best friend, Jim, he'll be spending every day with Aunt Kate. Cave City doesn't even have a mall!



Aunt Kate, however, needs SJ's help. Her farmhand broke his arm, and she needs someone to assist her with the animals and take care of the homestead.



SJ is preparing for a boring summer full of dull work-but that isn't what he finds in Kentucky. Aunt Kate shows him the wonders of Cave City, including the incredible Mammoth Cave. SJ gets to explore the subterranean system and see the natural beauty in Cave City. He also finds new friends, adjusts to farm life, and learns about Cave City's history.



As summer draws to a close, will SJ still yearn for city life-or will the country have won him over?
