Hideout

(3) 4-6 After moving to a new town, twelve-year-old Sam is beaten mercilessly by bullies. Humiliated, he finds refuge exploring Mississippi's Pascagoula River bayous. When he encounters a strange boy hiding in an abandoned camp, Sam decides to show his own bravery and help--a decision that becomes dangerous and complicated. In a plot containing much drama and many threads, Key nicely depicts survival in the wild.
