The Short Sleevez

Just outside of the big city, there is a place where the smallest things mean the most, and the youngest of people inspire wisdom, fun and friendship. You need not look any further than the next block over on “Short Sleevez” avenue. Where there is a group of gifted fourth graders, whom all live in the same building and go to the same school – they like to meet up sometimes to explore their world around them.

Trisha and Melisa

Trisha and Melisa are identical twins and Robert’s little cousins; he finds them annoying and at times pretty strange. Both are in the 2nd grade, they go to the same school (Victory Elementary School) as the the 4th graders. Trisha believes that the mailman lives inside the mailbox--she longs to the catch him coming out of his mailbox house with the mail, and see him before he delivers the mail. Melisa likes reading children books and loves it even more to have them read to her. Sometimes she reads to Trisha, who has many questions about what is being read to her.

Hiney Rollpart

Hiney Rollpart’s dad is the Ice-Cream Man, this means, that during the summer he and his friends get free ice-cream every other day. But he has to be careful who he calls his friends, sometimes, kids will pretend to be his friend just to get some free ice-cream. It’s a difficult challenge knowing who your true friends are, but Hiney Rollpart never seems to have that problem, because his friends are the real deal. Oh, and Hiney likes pistachio ice-cream or anything made with pistachio.
