The fort / Gordon Korman.
The morning after Hurricane Leo rips through their town, Evan, Jason, Mitchell, and C.J. find a total mess outside, with downed branches and uprooted trees everywhere. They know they should stay indoors -- but they want to go exploring, even if it means having a new kid, Ricky, tag along. Ricky's the first one to discover a strange trapdoor in the middle of the woods -- the door to an old bomb shelter, unearthed by the hurricane. Inside, the boys find a completely intact underground lair, with electricity, food, and even a TV. The boys vow to keep the place a secret. It's there's now. But some secrets are hard to keep . . . especially when adults and older kids are closing in. And what started out as a fun place to escape soon becomes a serious refuge for one of the boys, who is trying to avoid his abusive step-father. The Fort has become the safest place they have -- will they be able to protect it? -- Provided by publisher.
