El clan O-Rao

Ten-year-old Robin Brogan lives with his widowed mother, who runs a small bed-and-breakfast. When a new family moves into the house next door, Robin and his mother are drawn in by their agreeably chaotic lifestyle, and Robin overcomes his fear of dogs when his new friends help him rescue an abandoned dog.

Abel y Jon son mellizos. Como muchos hermanos tienen muy pocas cosas en común. Abel es rubio y Jon moreno. Abel saca notas excelentes y Jon va aprobando por los pelos. Abel es algo más robusto y Jon delgado. Abel es serio y Jon divertido. A simple vista parecen opuestos en todo pero hay algo que sí tienen en común, ambos están locos por su vecina de abajo, Iris. Amor, superación, aceptación, maduración; una historia que no te dejará indiferente.
