Byars, Betsy
THE TV KID
New York : Puffin Books, 1987.
IL 3-6 RL 4.5 .

ISBN 0140388265

Lennie watches a lot of TV. When he's not watching, he's day dreaming about what his favorite TV families are doing. The only thing that competes with Lennie's love for TV is his love of crossing the lake in an old rickety row boat to explore the real lived-in home when the vacationers have left for the season. He knows where the keys are kept and knows who has a domino set and who has a puzzle. One such trip to the camps proves more adventuresome as he gets a snake bite while trying to avoid being seen by the patrol car. Then he's not so sure he wouldn't rather by caught. To find out how the TV kid manages to get out of this major jam, read Betsy Byars' "The TV Kid".
