The Davis kids, Lauren, age 13, and her twin brothers, Dillon and Luke, age 11, moved from Phoenix, AZ to little Aiken's Corner, NC. Their parents made the move to allow the kids an opportunity to experience life out of the hustle and bustle of America's fifth largest city. An opportunity to be 100% kid, while under the watchful eye of a town that believes in the power of play, and a local sheriff who understands that. As their beloved Granddaddy said, where there is no place to hide.

In the first title in the series, Welcome to Aiken's Corner, Gibson set the stage for their arrival in little Aiken's Corner. Their status as the new kids on the block was short lived. From the day they arrived, the locals, kids and adults alike, took them into their fold. With nothing in town more than a short walk or bike ride away, they enjoyed the freedom of being on their own as long as they were home for supper with no broken bones or excessive loss of blood. The adjoining woods, creeks, and trails were their domain.

Each of the eight tales in the second title of the series, Mayday! Mayday!, continues the saga of Lauren and her twin brothers Dillon and Luke as they reenact many of Granddaddy's adventures, along with new adventures of their own. Now, a year older, and somewhat wiser, they still encounter the occasional friendly visit with the local sheriff and other adult authority figures. Life is good.
