Introducing a tremendous talent -- Martin Mordecai tells the story of twelve-year-old Jamaican twins in a lilting Caribbean voice we've never heard before.
Tucked high in the Jamaica Blue Mountains is Top Valley, home to twelve-year-old twins: the sharp-eyed (and sharp-mouthed) Pollyread Gilmore and her brother, Jackson, who's always up for (and in) trouble.
But the twins aren't going to have to look too hard for mischief: The town jailbird, a young thug named Jammy, is back and for some reason he's targeting the Gilmore family. With the twins' mother sick and their father distracted, it's up to Jackson and Pollyread to take on Jammy and keep their family strong.
Synopsis
Way up in the misty island mountains of Jamaica live eleven-year-old twins Pollyread and Jackson Gilmore. Pollyread is smart as a whip and tart as a lime. Jackson's sweet as a mango. Both of them know all the rules of their village -- and how to break them.
Then a young thug named Jammy sweeps in to stir up the twins' world. He even seems to be targeting their family. But are Pollyread's smart mouth and Jackson's steadiness enough to take him on - or will Jammy and his secret change the Gilmore family forever?
