Description
The Bailey kids’ mom has just been assigned to Fort Patrick, and it’ll be the family’s first time living on an army base! Tom, Charlotte, and Rosie get to make new friends, explore the neighborhood, and cool off in the huge pool. Unfortunately, they also have to deal with the base bully, who seems determined to make Tom’s life completely miserable by telling everyone he’s a wimp.
When the Baileys discover a mystery on base–an abandoned building long rumored to be haunted–they know that this is the way to show the world how brave Tom truly is. But when they go to investigate, they find there’s more to the house than some old rumors. What is that weird equipment? And who is that suspicious man sneaking around inside?
It’s up to Charlotte, Tom, and Rosie to figure out the base’s secrets-and prove to everyone that no bully can keep the Bailey kids down.
Daphne Benedis-Grab’s Army Brats is an exciting romp that celebrates friendship, bravery, and being true to yourself.
When the Bailey family moves into an army base in Virginia, there are a lot of adjustments to make: twelve-year-old Tom runs afoul of the base school bully, ten-year-old Charlotte finds herself trying too hard to make friends with the -cool- girls, and six-year-old Rosie is just being difficult as usual. But they come together to investigate a mysterious building full of weird cages, and uncover Fort Patrick’s secrets.
