Raised by their grandmother with her own secret knowledge of technology, Lilly is certain that their parents somehow survived the purge of computer experts. Tristan thinks she's dreaming. The cousins aren't sure who they can trust, since even at school, there are those who want to rid the world of the last remaining traces of technology. But when they find their school under attack by forces led by the same man who made their parents disappear, Tristan knows he has to do all he can to help Lilly with her quest.

"Most children wanted new and expensive things or go on vacations to far away lands. But, when it came to me, give me my stick, yesterday’s torn shirt, and Goodwill’s finest jeans, and above all, my siblings. In MY stories, the clothes are not a tattered old rag. Fixing or mending does not need to be done. For every tare and rip and for every stain there was a story. My Brothers, though aggravating, were often the reason for my great adventures. If you can give me your time and have enough patience to listen to a child’s prattle, I can entertain your imagination with one of my stories of the Back 40…" Take a trip into the Back 40 with Tanzie, Tristian, Toby, and Tanner as the four siblings have one of their adventures. This is good for all ages. Enjoy!
