YOUNGER FICTION
Greene, Stephanie

Owen Foote, Frontiersman

(1) 1-3 Illustrated by Martha Weston. Owen and his best friend Joseph have a great treehouse fort until the neighbor's odious grandsons come to visit and take it over. As Owen and Joseph plot to regain their "kingdom," all the strengths of this series come to the fore: real-boy characters with an appealingly loyal friendship, a good balance of narrative and dialogue, and an honestly childlike sense of the way the world works.
