The twin brothers, Das and Florida, are the most troublesome children in the orphanage, often shuttling between foster families and the orphanage. Some adopt them out of genuine kindness but get impatient and "return" them after three days; others do it purely to save on labor costs, ruthlessly exploiting these two children. Over time, the twins lose trust in adults and dream of escaping this place, which feels like a prison.
The arrival of Tiel and Sai'er teaches the cynical Florida how to love others after a life-or-death experience, while also helping the daydreaming Dallas learn to face reality.
This book won the 2003 Carnegie Medal and is deeply loved by young readers for its compelling and moving content.
