Chapter 7: Rhody the Rascal in the Tiny Titan State Deep in the heart of America, floating like a speckle of dust on the Ocean State, Rhode Island snuggles into the grand map of the United States. Though it may be the tiniest state, Rhode Island, or R.I., as the cool kids call it, is big on charm, character, and chutzpah! Here, you can zip from one end to another in a jiffy and still have time for a belly-busting clam cake. In the midst of this pint-sized state thrived Rhody the Rascal, a mischievous sprite with a knack for experiments. He was as iconic to Rhode Island as clam chowder and Narragansett Bay. Rhody was known to have a wild mop of hair and wore a pair of oversized spectacles that sat precariously on his freckled nose. He wasn't your average Joe, not by a long shot! Rhody had a gang of Rhode Island kiddos, who were all nuts about experiments. They'd gather in Rhody's secret lab, an old lighthouse that glowed like a firefly at night, brimming with giggles, ideas, and a whole lot of mess.

These Rhode Island kids were the epitome of pint-sized powerhouses. They were bold, they were brave, and they were always ready for a splash of adventure.
