We're not afraid anymore. A boy and a girl are stripped and marooned on a small island for the night. They are the goats. The kids at camp think its a great joke, just a harmless old tradition. But the goats dont see it that way. Instead of trying to get back to camp, they decide to call home. But no one can come and get them. So theyre on their own, wandering through a small town trying to find clothing, food, and shelter, all while avoiding suspicious adultsespecially the police. The boy and the girl find they rather like life on their own. If their parents ever do show up to rescue them, the boy and the girl might be long gone... The Goats is a 1987 New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of the Year.
