Holler of the Fireflies by David Barclay Moore


You'll meet a lot of strange characters in this story.  Holler is one of them.

Knopf Books for Young Readers and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published on the27th of September.

Holler goes to camp hoping he can win the grand prize and save his family from being evicted.  It's not an easy task.  They have to become a group of four and they only have so many lives for their avatars.

He ends up with two girls.  They need to find a cause, flesh it out and present it.  Unfortunately it's lot like war.  Even the girls in his group aren't fond of him and their ideas are all denied.  They need to agree.

At last they come up with an idea that should work.  But to accomplish it is harder than you would you would think.

Will they win?  Will his family get evicted?  Will he ever have friends?
