Tom and Ben are cousins and best friends. The boys haven't seen each-other for over a year since Ben and his family had moved to Auckland - but now it's the school holidays and Tom has a special project planned. Tom's plan to build a tree fort seems perfect but a grumpy neighbour and a problem with fences seem set to spoil the holiday. Joy Allcock is also the author of the Spelling Under Scrutiny resources which are designed to help students understand the Alphabetic Principle, which is the foundation of how words work in written English.
