Jack and Oscar solve the mystery of a strange kid and an armload of lumber.
[edit] Plot
The town is Odyssey. It's summer. The weather is hot. Very hot. The kids on the street have a name for this kind of weather. They call it a heat wave. Or so Jack explains in his best detective monologue. He and Oscar sit on Jack's front porch, bored out of their wits-until they see a mysterious kid walk by with a knapsack and an armload of lumber. Jack and Oscar decide to investigate.
First, they check out the local hardware store and discover that the kid got the lumber there. The owner tells them that the kid, a loner, is building something called "Wonderworld." Next, Jack and Oscar go to Whit's End and learn from Robyn that the kid comes in frequently to check out books from the library. They look at the check-out sheet for his name, but the only thing written down is "D. D."
The next day, Jack and Oscar follow the kid into the forest where they discover the truth! "D. D." is Digger Digwillow, and "Wonderworld" is the tree house he is building. Digger tells them that Whit is helping him develop his imagination properly so that he won't use it to get into trouble. Jack and Oscar think this sounds like a good idea, and they all head up to the treehouse to play.
