Abstract
On a Western Pennsylvania farm, orphaned twins Vernon and Junior Smith, 13, wake to a 700-foot spaceship that's been delivered in the backyard. The fossil-hunter grandfather who raises the boys is away on an expedition, so when the state tax collector delivers a bill for sales tax, the boys must evade him. They enter the rocket and blast off in a bid to raise the owed money by way of interstellar trade.
