Amazon.com description: Product Description: Are Walterâs âunclesâ really ex-bank robbers? Heâs about to spend a summer with them and find out!
Poor Walter! His mom, Mae, an irresponsible beauty past her prime and down on her luck, has dumped him off with his two eccentric old âuncles,â Hub and Garth. Maeâs convinced that the old men have millions stashed away from bank robberiesâand sheâs determined that she and Walter deserve a piece of the pie. So while Maeâs off trying to find a husband, Walter tries to make himself at home in the company of these older, grumpier menâand some other relatives that are equally determined to get their share of the family assets.
Soon Walter is transfixed and transformed by the stories Garth tells of his and Hubâs dashing younger years: how they were in the French Foreign Legion and how Hub won the love of the Sultanâs daughter and evaded the jealous Sheikâs assassins. Are Hub and Garth sitting on a fortune, or is that a story too? And whoâs going to get it if they are?
