The Turner Twins

Ralph Henry Barbour

The Turner Twins

Ralph Henry Barbour

When Ned and Laurie Turner arrive at Hillman's School, they've left California behind and everything feels like uncharted territory. The twins are alike in looks but different in spirit: Ned's got the steady hand, Laurie's got the quicker wit. Together, they've got one job - prove the Turner name still carries weight in this competitive boarding school world. Football and baseball are the currencies of respect here, and the boys dive in without knowing much about either. What they do know is each other, and that might be enough. Set in the early 20th century, this is old-school boarding school adventure at its most earnest: hijinks with a girl named Polly, nervous first days, teammates who become brothers, and the eternal question of whether you can measure up to the family reputation. It's light, it's warm, and it knows exactly what it wants to be - a story about two boys finding their place in a world that demands they earn it.
