Have you ever dreamed of being someone and somewhere else? I remember being a kid in the summertime when the hot summer in Omaha, Nebraska felt sooooo long and there was nothing to do. Styx Malone (foster child & the cool kid) and brothers Caleb and Bobby Gene are feeling that angst too. To make life more exciting, they concoct a plan to exchange one small thing for something better until they achieve their âwildest dreamsâ (motorbike). Sometimes itâs the baby sister thatâs exchanged for fireworks (I mean, thatâs pretty funny, but donât worry, the baby sister is given backâŚ
From Amy's list on with three best friends.
Caleb doesnât want to be ordinary. When he and his brother Bobby meet an older adventurous boy named Styx, Caleb is eager to be part of his schemes, while Bobby is more cautious. Funny and exciting, this book helps kids consider peer pressure and what it means to be a true friend. Aimed at ages 8-12.
