Backyard Bones

The DeMuth Sisters have again served up an enticing smorgasbord of stories for their fans. Including the award winning story of the same title, this book follows the sisters through their transition into adolescence with tales of "educational experiences," an international foray, and the teen-aged stumbles that haunt us all. Written with a deft hand and a close eye to humor, nostalgic affection, and careful detail, "Backyard Bones" is another volume that can speak across generations and touch the hearts (and funny bones) of all ages. With the continued popularity of their books, these two ladies may do for Paxton, Illinois what Mark Twain did for Hannibal, Missouri.
