The Birthday Castle: Fort Builders Inc. 1
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Caleb could really use a bit more spending money—he needs to buy the next book in his favorite series so he can see what happens! But what can he do to raise funds once his allowance runs out? Caleb puts his head together with his best friend, Jax, and a couple other kids in their neighborhood, and come up with a brilliant idea. They're going to start their own fort-building business! Good forts are always in demand, and who better to design and construct them than kids? But when Fort Builders, Inc., gets their first gig, the group has trouble agreeing on the right way to go about it. Can they learn to work together in time to build an incredible fort, or will their business be over before it even begins?

K-Gr 3-Eight-year-old Caleb is saving for the latest book in his favorite series. How can a kid earn some fast cash? He and his friends decide to put their best talents to use and open a fort-building business. Each team member brings their own unique skills and Fort Builders, Inc. is born. The first customer proves tricky, and pesky siblings combined with foul weather threaten to shut down the new enterprise, but old-fashioned teamwork, ingenuity, and perseverance get the job done. This first installment in a new "Quix" series offers a transitional chapter book with STEM appeal, promoting community, creativity, and collaboration. The diverse team of creators invites kids to get off the couch and find some like-minded neighborhood friends. A list of characters at the beginning of the book will help developing readers keep everyone straight, and a word list at the end offers the correct pronunciation and meanings of some of the more advanced vocabulary. Coming in at under 100 pages with large print, wide margins and a dialogue-heavy linear story, this book will grant emerging readers reading confidence. Black-and-white cartoon-style illustrations are large and generously sprinkled throughout the text. Plans for creating a working drawbridge round out the volume. Running around with pals, starting a business, and creating cool projects-what a terrific way to spend summer vacation! VERDICT A great choice for future engineers, entrepreneurs, and readers who enjoy a fun story that will spark the imagination.-Kate Nafz, Fair Lawn Public Library, NJ
