(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dušan Petričić. The narrator and his older brother enjoy their tree house until the summer when the elder brother switches loyalties to his friends. But one night there's a blackout in the neighborhood, precipitating a brotherly reunion. The story, inspired by true events, suffers from flat pacing, but the crisp narration and atmospheric illustrations of an electricity-free evening recommend the title.
