Tornado and his friend, Paul, are real boys, and they share real boys' adventures together in this lively and adventurous story. Tornado Jones never had a friend his own age until Paul Travis came to spend the summer in the Nebraska sandhill country. Tornado is standoffish at first; he has important work to do this summer and doesn't want any strangers snooping around. But Paul s warm friendliness breaks through Tornado's shyness, and soon the boys are real pals. Tornado is even willing to talk to Paul about the mystery concerning his background and his unusual name. Tornado tells Paul other things too: about the gold that he feels sure is buried in the canyon, about the two men who are secretly digging there; about his worries as to what will happen to him and his beloved Grandma. For the dam that is under construction near his home will flood the house that he and Gram live in They will have to go to live with gloomy Uncle Bill and Aunt Min - and Tornado cannot imagine a more dismal fate. A lively and appealing story, highlighted by the friendship between the two boys, the hundred-year-old mystery about Tornado, the love and devotion of Tornado and his grandmother. Gram's gentle humor and warm philosophy never fail her, and the end of the story justifies her strong faith in life and people. For, as Grandma Jones says to Tornado: "Good overbalances bad in this world, bub"Please let me know if pictures do not load properly or if anything else should be added to this listing.
