"Thanks to the generosity of his neighbor Mrs. Gold, who owns the woods near Owen's house, Owen and his best friend Joseph have a great treehouse fort, complete with a Weapons Wall (seven sharp sticks) and an Art Wall (featuring the quieter Joseph's nature poem: "Bulb. Fighting dirt, worms, rodents, and rocks, to be a flower"). But now Mrs. Gold's odious grandsons Jake and Spencer have come to visit and have taken over the fort, intending to wreck it. As Owen and Joseph plot to regain their "kingdom," all the strengths of this series come to the fore: real-boy characters with an appealingly loyal friendship, a good balance of narrative and dialogue, and an honestly childlike sense of the way the world works."
