Little Eva #12

Little Eva's determined to prove she belongs on a boys-only picnic, so when Nipper finally relents—on the condition she brings lunch—she jumps at the chance. But the gang has a trick up their sleeve to keep her home, and when it backfires in the most unexpected way, Eva ends up crashing the outing anyway, leading to a day of comedic mishaps neither side saw coming.

Nipper finds a big tire at his garage and gets caught up in swapping it around with the neighborhood kids—first trading it for a knife, then scrambling to get it back when he realizes it's actually his father's missing tire.

It's a tale of girls outsmarting boys, with plenty of comic chaos and unexpected twists along the way.
