My grandma gave me this book to read after getting it from one of the teachers she works with, she is a volunteer at an elementary school. To be honest, in the beginning I thought I was a little too old to really enjoy it. But I actually found it to be a great book for children and adults.

The main story is about two orphan twins who are living in a children's home and keep getting bounced around to different places. I think the story really captures the anxiety and insecurity that many children feel, especially in a situation like that. You know, they weren't really 'trouble' like everyone seemed to think, they just happened to somehow always get stuck in bad situations with bad people.

In the end though, I think they really found someplace to call home.
