As The Sparks Fly Upward: Jimmy And Johnny Adventure Stories

Jimmy and Johnny Burns don't go out hunting adventure. They don't have to. Hair-raising scrapes lie in wait for them at every twist of their ordinary lives. The siblings encounter a scar-faced man whose dirty, old car pulls a mysterious trailer. A pesky summer visitor arrives at their home intent on causing trouble. A sailboat outing turns scary and makes for a power-packed rescue. Along the way, these gutsy youngsters from a small, Southern town learn about wise choices, courage, overcoming obstacles, and family values that underlie their captivating exploits. School-aged readers will thank David deGruy for spinning these cliff-hanging yarns, while parents and educators will appreciate the positive moral and spiritual values presented in a style that refreshes and entertains. David V. deGruy, Sr., of Mobile, AL, first told these stories as entertainment for his young son. He has been a soldier, salesman, pharmacist, consultant and administrator. Now in retirement he is trying his hand at something he has always wanted to be--an author. Young people as well as the young at heart will enjoy these charming stories.
