I had this subscription to Cricket magazine as a child and I read the first installment of this story and then my subscription ran out and because I was a kid in pre-internet times I couldn't figure out how to find the book. Or even that it was a book. Why didn't I just go to the library and get the next Cricket? Because that issue of Cricket was stolen from the library. Why didn't I do inter-library loan? Because I don't think they did that for ten year olds in 1981. Oh how I suffered, not knowing what happened to the two brothers who jumped out of their burning house to what seemed certainly to be their deaths. Then in 2002, I was working at Dog Eared Books in San Francisco and someone brought this book in to sell. One of the best days of my life. It actually holds up to twenty years of longing.
