Review
Two boys, Augie and Wyatt, build a fort only to have 2 bullies take it over. But Wyatt and Augie come up with a plan to chase the bullies away and stop them from bullying other people as well as themselves. The fort building process, the friendship between Augie and Wyatt and the way they dealt with the bullies was great. The one piece that seemed out of place in a book meant for 8-11 year was Wyatt’s obsession with Augie’s great-aunt’s breasts. That kind of behavior would be better suited to a 12+ age group. Having said that, it is a very minor part in an otherwise very good adventure story.
Overall Book Score: very good
