One wild weekend. Two brothers. A lifetime of memories. Step into the vibrant summer of 1997 with ten-year-old Dave and his rule-breaking younger brother, Kyle, as they embark on a wild, laugh-out-loud weekend with their Boston sports-obsessed grandfather, Russell "Gramps" Marsden. Based on true stories, this memoir-style novel is a nostalgic journey through a 90s childhood, where sibling rivalry meets heartfelt family bonds. From the historic penny candy stores of Cape Cod to the legendary energy of Fenway Park and the old Boston Garden, Dave must navigate his brother's antics and Gramps' playful, word-twisting humor. But when Kyle decides that Mom's "don't spend Gramps' money" rule is more of a suggestion than a law, Dave is caught between his conscience and his brother's escalating chaos. What starts as a simple trip for treats turns into a series of comedic adventures that test their bond and define a generation. Featuring original interior art and real family photos, this volume is more than just a story; it's a time capsule of New England culture and the quirky traditions that stay with us forever. Perfect for fans of Clean Getaway and The Terrible Two, A Weekend at GRAMPS '97 celebrates the intergenerational connections that shape who we become.
