"Ruby Holler" by Sharon Creech
http://www!.amazon!.com/Ruby-Holler-Joanna!.!.!.
Having suffered through a string of appalling foster homes (the spitting Cranbepps; scary, toothless Mr!. Dreep who locked them in his cellar; and the mean Burgerton boys), 13-year-old orphan Dallas and his twin sister, Florida, have pretty much given up on ever finding a happy home!. So when an eccentric older couple enters their lives, providing such adventures as a river expedition, a treasure hunt (of sorts), and a whole lot of remarkable meals: "beat-the-blues broccoli," "anti-cranky crumpets," and "getting-used-to-kids- again stew," the twins take a while to warm up!. Florida's language teems with outrageous, telling negativity--everything is "putrid"--and even dreamy Dallas is inclined to bouts of doubt!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
