Old Man Hanson is a recluse, but his orchard has some of the best apples around, and he protects them fiercely from the neighbourhood kids, who never tire of trying to steal some. Getting the apples becomes a duel of wits, and the boys form the G.O.H. (Get Old Man Hanson) club. The adversaries engage in plots and counter-plots, pranks and counter-pranks. It is a duel of wits.<\/p>\n

When Old Man Hanson dies, curiosity leads two of the boys into his house. In the midst of their snooping, they experience Hanson\u2019s best prank: they are trapped and must use their creative intellects and quick thinking to escape, and the clock is ticking!<\/p>\n

What the boys don\u2019t know is Hanson\u2019s true motivation for all of the pranks\u2014including his last, best one\u2014and when that is revealed, it changes everything they thought they knew about the old man. In fact, they discover, they didn\u2019t know him at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I was teaching fifth grade, I decided to write this novel for the kids in my classroom. I meant it to be a fun, short, nonthreatening book that they would want to read. It proved to be a wonderful teaching tool and an encouragement for the kids in my classes to be writers.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
