Ordeal at Old Ivy Oak proves that blood is thicker than water and those two seemingly different brothers can cast aside rivalry and put family first. The story follows the story of Jack and Benny Banks and their adventure that turns to nightmare.  Kidnapped by two convicts in the woods, they struggle against their captors and ultimately escape with some quick thinking.The book was a short book and able to be completed in one sitting.  It's a good read, but mostly relevant to a teenage audience.  I've read one other Funke novel in the past and was equally impressed with his writing style and character development. You won't be disappointed.
