Synopsis

When ten-year-old Roosevelt Banks discovers that his two best friends are planning a bike & camping trip, he wants more than anything to go along. There’s just one problem—he doesn’t have a bike. Roosevelt’s parents agree to buy him a new bike if he can manage to be good for two whole weeks. Roosevelt struggles with how to be good and be the same fun guy his friends want on the camping trip. Trying to be good leads to more trouble than expected and to the discovery that being a good friend is more important than a bicycle. Winner of multiple awards.
