Fort by Cynthia DeFelice


Wyatt and Auggie are eleven years old and looking forward to the best summer of their lives.  They scavenge for scraps to build a fort in the woods, where they spend days at a time, hunting, fishing, and hanging out.  

The boys are friendly with Gerard, who is bullied by two older boys, J.R. and Morrie.  When their fort is vandalized, Wyatt and Augie suspect Gerard, but they soon find out that  J.R. and Morrie are the culprits.  With help from Unk, Augie’s great-uncle, and Al, the owner of the local junkyard, Wyatt and Auggie plan and execute Operation Doom, designed to teach J.R. and Morrie a lesson.

This book is funny, realistic, and cute.  It’s a great book for anyone who likes to root for the underdog.
