About

In this boys-will-be-boys summer story about friendship and revenge, eleven-year-old Wyatt and his friend Augie aren't looking for a fight. They're having the best summer of their lives hanging out in the fort they built in the woods, fishing and hunting, cooking over a campfire, and sleeping out. But when, two older boys mess with the fort-and with another kid who can't fight back-the friends are forced to launch Operation Doom, with unexpected results for all concerned, in this novel about two funny and very real young heroes.

Reviews

"DeFelice smoothly advances the plot to a satisfying climax and conclusion . . . for this adventuresome, good-hearted, but never goody-goody pair. Wyatt is a sympathetic narrator with a realistic blend of thoughtfulness and daring."
Publishers Weekly
"Classic summer adventure...DeFelice doesn't shy away from the gritty realities of outdoor life...The childhood world DeFelice depicts may seem to some like a throwback to decades past, when summer days were less structured and supervised, but readers will appreciate the reminder that fun like this is still possible."
The New York Times Book Review
"What preteen . . . wouldn't love to build a fort in the woods? DeFelice makes that dream come true . . . [and] leads to a glorious, feel-good climax in which all the right things work out and the bad guys get their richly deserved comeuppance . . . Upbeat, engaging and satisfying; altogether . . . a bit of believable, achievable adventure."
