With missionary parents, twelve-year-old twins Penny and Percy have seen the world. But Uncle Stretch's "Horse Camp" (really, a farm) is the worst place they've lived. Problems abound: their family is falling apart, chores are difficult, and they're without electronic devices. Told in alternating wry voices, each twin affectingly speaks to the search for equilibrium, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
