Girl's Day Out is about three soon to be ten year olds who are best friends, excellent students and cousins. The girls had done their very best all school year and are being rewarded with the title of best fourth grade students. Summer is about to begin and as usual they will be split up to go spend time at their grandmothers' homes. The aunties decide to give the girls something special, a girl's day out. They are very curious young ladies so when they find out about the adventure they want to know, they need to know the what, where, when and how this adventure will unfold. The suspense is overwhelming so they use all of the resources that they have to find out where they will be going. They ask their parents if they know anything, they go to the library and look in books, magazines and on maps; they use the computer and look for places near and far. They even resort to asking the aunties, and even though they know the aunties will not tell them a thing, they remain hopeful to the last minute. The adventure as they call it turns out to be bigger, better and more usual than they could have even imagined. The lesson they learn this week is priceless.
