Adventures of the Taylor Boys is a collection of ten stories about brothers Ted and Johnny Taylor, amateur detectives who are teenage high school students in Raleigh, North Carolina. They combat a wide variety of issues--drugs, gangs, animal cruelty, arson, racial and ethnic prejudice, crooked athletic coaches, domestic abuse, mental illness, and slander based on incorrect information--as they seek to make the world a better place. Ted, the older brother, is slow and thoughtful. Johnny is quick and emotional. The setting is eastern North Carolina during the 1990s, except for one story in which the boys travel to England to a haunted house. Pearl Skelton has provided striking black and white illustrations.
