This is a silly tale of boy vs. boring summer. Any kid who has ever dreamed he would discover an exciting adventure just beyond the edge of his backyard will relate to it. Eleven-year-old Brian is doomed to a summer spent doing extra schoolwork under his uncle’s watchful tutelage, but when he stumbles upon a haphazardly built home in the woods beyond the backyard, he is drawn into the world of the eccentric Van Dash family. With them he will face adventure, danger, and have to decide when it is okay to disobey authority. It’s a gentle, funny story with just a dash of childhood rebellion.
