White Pine

The Corps of the Bare-Boned Plane
I don’t know who picked the cover for this book because it sure gives a different impression of the contents. I was expecting a riproaring adventure with maybe a few bodies. What I got was a story of an eccentric uncle who has isolated himself on his island for years and knows nothing about teenage girls or life in general. The girls themselves were brought up in very different ways and their only commonality is they have both lost their parents. As for the old lady who comes to be the cook what is all that about? It is four characters in search of a plot . Miss Horvath attempted to weave the story lines together and came up with a sweater with three arms. You can wear it but do you want to?
