The Corps of the Bare-Boned Plane

The Corps of the Bare-Boned Plane  by Polly Horvath was a book about two girls, Melanie and Jocelyn. Tragic events happen to their parents thus ending up them both living with their uncle, Marten Knockers on a fairly large island off the coast of Canada. After a short time of going with the same ordinary things going around they get a house maid. Now she is fairly nice but is German with a thick German accent that they sometimes don't understand. Things start to change when she starts working for Mr. Knockers. They get new meals, and new supplies etc. After a while she gets annoyed of always having to go pick up everything the Helicopter drops off usually broken and asks Mr. Knockers for a Butler. He complied and he just did regular stuff butler's do. For a while the same goes on until Something happens with Jocelyn. Her emotions are set free and she starts to go outside and just sit there. That goes on for a while until Melanie decides to follow her outside one day and they start to get a bond by building... Planes. They are then accompanied by a dog that they pleaded for from Mr. Knockers. But if you want to know more you have to read the book.
