INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old friends Wyatt and Augie spend the summer building a fort in the upstate New York woods; teaching local bullies a lesson; and defending their special-needs neighbor, Gerard. The plot is simplistic, and the juvenile humor often feels forced. But the boys' friendship rings true, and the premise--roughing it with no parental supervision--will appeal to young readers.
