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