Book Description

Two fifteen-year-old twins, Jean and Jo Weston, are just completing their first year at boarding school in Melbourne when their father writes to them that the drought has hit hard. He mentions that he can't afford to pay for the school the following year, so they must return and help and teach their little brother, Billy. Just before they left for home, Helen Forester, their school captain, had a groundbreaking idea that might change lives.
