Fifth-grader Frederick is sent to a disciplinary camp for troublesome boys. After a rocky start, he and his terrifying troop mates start forging a friendship. Good thing, because a Category 5 hurricane is coming and everyone must work together to survive! HC: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). Frederick Frederickson has a food-chain theory about life. There are lions, like the school bully. Gazelles, like the bullied kids. There are meerkats, and the fleas that live on the butts of meerkats. Frederick's a flea. Fifth grade is off to a terrible start when Frederick is sent to a disciplinary camp for troublesome boys. His fellow troop mates-Nosebleed, Specs, The Professor, and little-yet-lethal Ant Bite-are terrifying. But in between trust-building exercises and midnight escape attempts, a tenuous friendship grows between them. Which is lucky, because a Category 5 hurricane is coming and everyone will have to work together-lions and fleas alike-to survive! Kate Beasley outdoes herself in this hilarious, whip-smart tale of brotherhood, survival, and what it really means to be a friend. |
