Story: 5 stars
Art: 4 stars
Fast-paced children's full-color graphic novel. A pair of orphaned twins goes on a cross-country adventure in 1860. A page-turner that includes an orphan gang, a child trafficker, a second pair of twins, an open-market brawl, train-hopping, high seas escapades, and swashbuckling pirates. Multiple villains heighten the conflict at every turn of events. Well plotted and effectively organized. The historical setting adds to this novel's charm. Art is not on the caliber of Amulet, but definitely above average.
