Back at School with the Tucker Twins

The summer's over, and Page Allison is headed back to Gresham school with more than just her trunk. The Tucker twins, Dum and Dee, are up to their usual tricks, smuggling their beloved dog Brindle onto the train in a feat of audacious friendship that sets the tone for the year ahead. Page has spent a year apart from her companions, and she's about to discover how much everyone has changed, including herself. Between stolen moments with a contraband dog, the chaos of dormitory life, and the endless negotiations between loyalty and rules, this is boarding school as a world unto itself: a place where mischief is a language, friendship is the only currency that matters, and every small rebellion feels like victory. Nell Speed writes with a light hand and genuine warmth, capturing that specific teenage territory between childhood adventure and the dawning complexities of growing up. The Tucker twins are irresistible forces of chaos, and watching them navigate the particulars of school life, classes, roommates, pranks, and the slow reveal of what they're truly made of, makes for genuinely infectious reading.
