Building a dream house

A family’s plan for a mountain vacation home runs into practical setbacks when the builder proves dishonest: work wastes time and money, and building materials go missing. Set in the father’s childhood village, the story brings the construction project into contact with a wider community, as local friends step in to help. The house itself gives the family’s differing views a shared focus, while the outcome of the project remains an open question in the description.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in building and construction.
