Lenny's Summertime Adventures

By Uruburu

Lenny lives at the foot of the mountains outside of New York City, where every year her Basque relatives gather at the "Big House." Her summers are always filled with adventures, games, and parties. But Lenny has something special in mind for her cousins this year--to help her find a ghost Throughout the summer, we meet Lenny's favorite cousin, Val; her brave cousin, Gregie; Uncle Gregorio, who might secretly be Superman; Mackie the delivery man, who is terrified of the snakes in the driveway; Pudgie, the dog with the snakebite scars on his face; Harvey, the albino guinea pig; and many more. We follow Lenny's hand-drawn map of her "neighborhood," visiting places like Eagle Rock, Blueberry Hill, and the Pipeline. We take a peek into her personal dictionary of Basque words and learn about Basque traditions. And finally, we discover the answer to the mystery of "The Ghost."
