review 1: Anyone who has siblings can probably relate to this one. One summer, a boy and his older brother enjoy their treehouse playing games, reading comics and enjoying each other's company. The following summer, the older brother stops hanging out with the younger one. The younger brother spends his time in the treehouse missing his brother. When a blackout hits the neighborhood, the older brother joins the other in the treehouse where they bond all over again with comics and card games. It made me think of my own siblings (sharing a room with my sister for my first 8 years and having all-night Trivial Pursuit sessions with my brother). Let the nostalgia commence!
review 2: A young boy is ecstatic to move to a new house where he builds a tree-house with his dad... more and older brother. That summer the two boys have a lot of fun in their special place high in the trees. The next summer is not the same. The brother doesn't spend any time in the tree house, he has too many new friends to be bothered hanging out with his little brother. The younger one is sad and bored in his lofty hideout when all of a sudden he sees the stars up above instead of all the lights in the houses. The power has gone out and the neighborhood treats it like a party. Big brother takes this opportunity to climb into the tree house where the two reconnect as siblings and friends. A simple yet sweet story of brothers growing up and changing. Yet a reminder of how important family is and how wonderful to keep close. I love the cover. The interior illustrations are cute but a little too cartoon-like for the story. less
