Doug and Andy are two unlikely best friends, but they never leave each others’ side. Doug is like a nerd kid who likes to play with train models and gets beat up in school and no girls like him. Andy, on the other hand, is a popular football star who can get any girl he wants. Ever since they were little they have been best friends and during one summer they went to Tuttle Place and made a tree house. Ever since one day at the tree house during the winter, Doug has been losing his mind and can’t seem to figure out why. This book really shows how friends are worth way much more than anything else and that two of the most unlikely people can be best of friends. This is a really good book and anyone can relate to and love this book.
Review written by Blah!
I'm using this book for the first time in my literature circle this month. I've used Hautman's Godless for a few years (to mixed reviews), and I'm anxious to see my students' reactions when they finish. They keep going back to the idea that Doug is "creepy" and were surprised when some revealing information was laid out for the reader...the ending of this book makes it all worth while!
