(4) 4-6 Magical realism motivates the action in this story of orphan girl-boy twins Penny and Parker, who try to revitalize New Hope, North Carolina, in a bid to stay permanently. Though narrator Penny doesn't know who their father is, she pretends she's descended from a panoply of famous Americans while she searches. Biographical information about these icons is inserted somewhat intrusively, but Penny's desire for roots rings true.
