(2) 4-6 Twins Jackson and Pollyread (so nicknamed for her favorite pastime) live in a village in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. Trouble begins when Jammy Parchment is found squatting on their family's land. Much of the story's dialogue is in a melodic Jamaican patois. Mordecai's descriptions of the close-knit community and the uniquely beautiful setting, including supernatural elements, are memorably vivid.
