Two For Trouble

About the Book

Set in the depression era of the early 1930’s, this is a family oriented, heartwarming, hilarious family adventure.  This adventure centers around two twelve year old step-brother and sister, who are caught in the middle of a family of fourteen.  With not enough love to go around, Orville and Joanie form an unusual bond.  They are determined to defend and take care of each other, all the time out to have fun by creating havoc wherever they go.  They love ditching school almost as much as the teacher enjoys them being gone!

You’ll enjoy such adventures as “the skunk in school,” “first trip to town,” “first picture show,” “first taste of white lightning,” “exploring the haunted house,” “the bootleggers,” and “getting mixed up with the MOB.”

A comedy adventure you’ll never forget!
