Description

Best friends Nour and August join Grandpa Paolo on an epic two-week bike ride and use a special camera to fulfill their own dreams.

Grandpa Paolo is planning a great adventure, and Nour and her best friend, August, have to join him. Together with their dear old friend Aïda, they become his support team and learn the meaning of helping others.

Along the way, they:

  • Repair tires
  • Befriend birds
  • Navigate (without GPS!)
  • Discover a zip line
  • Collect medicinal plants
  • Sleep in a van (and a yurt!)--all to help a friend fulfill his dreams!

The Photo Finish is book three in the new Kaleidoscope Club chapter book series, with full-color illustrations throughout--a perfect series for readers ages seven to ten who are interested in friendship and learning more about nature, empathy, and STEAM.
