Even a bookish big sister is drawn in by the promise of her
imaginative sibling's spectacular hideaway.
I have a secret tree fort, and YOU'RE NOT INVITED!
When two sisters are ushered outside to play, one sits under a tree with
a book while the other regales her with descriptions of a cool fort in
a tree that grows ever more fantastical in the telling. What will it
take to get the older sister to look up? The promise of a water-balloon
launcher in case of attack? A trapdoor to stargaze through? A crow's
nest from which to see how many whales pass by or to watch for pirates?
Or the best part of all, which can't be revealed, because it's a
secret?
