Nid and Nod

"Nid and Nod" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a story set in the early 1900s about twin brothers, Nid and Nod Turner, and their pal Kewpie Proudtree as they face the ups and downs of boarding school life. The book dives into the importance of friendship and sticking together, especially when trying to find your place. In the beginning, we see Kewpie in a funny talk with Polly at the soda shop, where they joke about his love for food and his dreams of playing sports. Kewpie wants to show everyone he can do it, so he sets his sights on joining the baseball team, and Nid starts thinking about how they can help him get there. This scene kicks off a tale of personal and shared challenges as these friends grow up and learn to support each other.
