The Cheerful Twins Take Action by Arja Peters
Join Ellis and Thelma Bongers in one of their most heartwarming and energetic adventures yet!
In The Cheerful Twins Take Action, the twins and their classmates decide to raise money for a noble cause: helping a young doctor in Kenya repair his Land Rover so he can continue his medical mission. With a tight deadline and big dreams, they launch a flurry of creative fundraising efforts — from a bake sale and snack bar to a chicken barn tour and even a circus performance.
But this action-packed story doesn’t stop there. The twins and their friends also uncover and stop a major burglary in the nick of time. Their grand finale is a spectacular costume party in a castle garden, where the success of their charity goal is revealed!
