Twenty miles away, in a lush hidden valley called Ruby Holler, sixty-year-old Sairy and Tiller live in a small cabin with no modern conveniences. Dallas and Florida dream about catching a freight train to a friendly, beautiful place that surely must exist somewhere. Trepid, the venal and larcenous couple who run the orphanage. The two are called the Trouble Twins by Mr. The two siblings-daydreamy Dallas and his spitfire of a sister, Florida-have broken all those rules many times, spending untold hours in the damp, dark, cobwebby basement in the “Thinking Corner,” scrubbing floors, peeling potatoes, and pulling weeds. At thirteen, twins Florida and Dallas are the oldest kids in the ramshackle Boxton Creek Home for Children, a place where rules are king.
