About This Book

Two lively twin boys settle into a small-town school life, trading jokes and forming a friendship with a shopkeeper's daughter who helps in her mother's store. Their days combine schoolwork, athletic contests, amateur theatricals, committees and social entertainments, including a village fete and holiday preparations. Episodes range from playful inventions and neighborhood kindness to an understudy taking the stage, discovery of a secret passage and the mystery of a missing boy, followed by friends rallying to defend family reputation. The story mixes lighthearted mischief, camaraderie and resourceful problem-solving, and concludes with a communal Christmas celebration.
