[PSUBS-MAILIST] Children's author needs expert advice



I write books for children aged 8 to 12.

I am currently beginning a book that centers around a 10 or 11 year old boy who finds a submarine kit (it was in a crate that fell off a train).

I need some advice from the experts:

Would it be believable that a young boy could build a small submarine from a kit?

Could the kit be very simple - something like the Silent Runner?

Would he have access to all the tools and parts needed?

Where would he have to build it - a barn? a garage?

Once built, could he maneuver it (on a wagon or cart?) to a nearby pond or lake?

Any ideas or suggestions welcome and appreciated.
