The Best Hideaway of All Summer (and Plenty of Raspberry Ice Cream)
An Italian adventure with Grandma
Grandma Rosa keeps forgetting things that have only just happened – and it’s happening more and more often. But she can recall plenty of childhood stories. For example, the one about the treasure she hid, when she was nine years old. Or the delicious ice cream recipes from her Italian mountain village. And that’s precisely where Grandma Rosa wants to travel back to. Of course, her grandkids are coming along too – and so a summer trip with lots of adventure and a large helping of ice cream begins!
