Description

With frostbitten hands, sleepless nights and sore muscles, 14-year-old Jackson Jones and his posse of relatives find the lost art once they dominate an orchard of 300 crazy apple trees of winging it. They know-nothing about pruning or cleansing or pest-control, but figure it out they must—if they're to prevent losing $8,000 (due to an unjust agreement).    With area pictures for physical-caring readers—the things of the tractor, a plow with disks—and with numerical measurements of the truly amazing support of cash to be earned, this book has got the kind of can-do spirt and feeling of earned self-reliance seldom present in modern day fiction.
