(3) 1-3 Road to Reading series. Illustrated by Lynne Cravath. The newest fourth-grade adventure from Starvation Lake features Baylor, an overprotected boy who fears animals, hypothermia, and teasing on the class overnight at an ecology center. The other kids include him, however, and the outdoors provides challenges he can meet. With Cravath's black-and-white sketches, Whelan's age-appropriate anecdotes and smooth pacing provide solid entertainment.
