About this ebook
Two boys. One awesome fort. A summer they'll never forget.
Eleven-year-old Wyatt and his friend Augie are having the best summer of their lives. They've built an incredible fort in the woods, where they spend their days fishing, hunting, cooking over a campfire, and sleeping under the stars. But when two older boys mess with their fort—and with another kid who can't fight back—Wyatt and Augie are forced to launch Operation Doom, with unexpected results for all concerned.
In this thrilling middle grade novel, award-winning author Cynthia DeFelice tells a story of friendship, revenge, and standing up for yourself, even in the face of daunting odds. Fort is a funny and heartfelt adventure that will resonate with any reader who's ever had to face down a bully. It's a summer Wyatt and Augie will never forget, and one that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final page.

About the author
Cynthia DeFelice was the author of many bestselling titles for young readers, including the novels Wild Life, The Ghost of Cutler Creek, Signal, and The Missing Manatee, as well as the picture books, One Potato, Two Potato, and Casey in the Bath. Her books were nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award and listed as American Library Association Notable Children's Books and Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year, among numerous other honors. Cynthia was born in Philadelphia in 1951. As a child, she was always reading. Summer vacations began with a trip to the bookstore, where she and her sister and brothers were allowed to pick out books for their summer reading. “To me,” she said, “those trips to the bookstore were even better than the rare occasions when we were given a quarter and turned loose at the penny-candy store on the boardwalk.” Cynthia worked as a bookseller, a barn painter, a storyteller, and a school librarian. She and her husband lived in Geneva, New York. She died at age seventy-two in 2024.
