The Misadventures of Orville Hempstead

Orville Hempstead is a young teenage boy living in the small town of Greenville with his parents and sister June. Orville has a very active imagination and often wakes up thinking he is someone else - a rodeo rider, trapeze artist, even Ben Franklin! These fantasies lead to adventure and sometimes trouble - Mom and Pop wonder how Orville scrapes by and survives his antics; sister June can't wait until he grows out of his hijink nature and becomes a normal brother. She's the only one though, as we love following Orville on all of his fun adventures and discoveries. Join us in smiles and laughter reading through Orville's exciting stories, lessons and triumphs!
