# A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever - Hardcover

by **Marla Frazee** (Author), **Marla Frazee** (Illustrator)

**A 2009 Caldecott Honor Book**

When James and Eamon go to a week of Nature Camp and stay at Eamon's grandparents' house, it turns out that their free time spent staying inside, eating waffles, and playing video games is _way_ more interesting than nature. But sometimes things work out best when they _don't_ go exactly as planned.

This Caldecott Honor-winning book is a moving and hilarious celebration of young boys, childhood friendships, and the power of the imagination, where Marla Frazee captures the very essence of summer vacation and what it means to be a kid.
