MY THOUGHTS: Even though this is a books for children it was very mysterious. I got this book at our library book sale. I liked the cover, my cover is different, and the description led me to think it would be a good mystery book to read. I wasn't wrong. When Taddy is left orphaned when his Aunt and Uncle die, some very unscrupulous villains come into the house to steal what's left. They find Taddy and take him with them. He is of course put to work much like a slave. With his bedroom consisting of a space in the kitchen under a table. Taddy remembers his Uncle saying something about a twin and danger. While Taddy is delivering ice to a wealthy home he sees a boy who looks a lot like him. He thinks he's found his twin. But danger lurks all around Taddy and he has to be very careful. Does Taddy find his twin? Does danger find Taddy? I can't tell anymore without giving the ending away. This was a wonderful book to read.
