This upper elementary and early middle school adventure story will hit the spot with reluctant readers! Orphaned red-headed twins (two sets!) are racing across the country trying to answer the ad of a rich man in San Francisco whose own red-headed twins are missing. One set races to swindle him out of his money, and one set to find a family. Pirates, gangs, stowaways, treasure maps, jungles, sailing ships and a hint of romance combine in the 1860's. Some great accurate historical touches, vibrant characters and a galloping pace make this an excellent read.
