Filled with Jamaican dialect, sensory descriptions of the countryside, and adventures of eleven-year-old twins, Pollyread and Jackson Gilmore, this book offers insight to the Jamaican culture that is not easily found. The twins are finishing sixth grade and waiting for the test results that determine their future. The adventures and dreams of these young twins living in a village high in the mountains provide personal connections for all readers through the lyrical voice of the author, who is from Jamaica. Readers of all ages will appreciate the zest and richness of life showcased here despite, or because of, the twins living in a somewhat impoverished area. 2010 USBBY Outstanding International Books List, 2009 Kirkus Reviews Best Children’s Books. jm
