Synopsis
Product Description
Though it doesn’t seem likely for twins to have the same middle name, it’s clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have “Trouble” in that spot on their birth certificates. But anyone who’s met their grandmother Hazel will know they came by it honestly.Join the Stone twins for a laugh-filled ride as they connive, cajole, and bamboozle their way across the Solar System in the company of the most high-spirited and hilarious family in all of science fiction. This light-hearted tale has some of Heinlein’s sassiest dialogue. Oddly enough, it’s also a true example of family values—for when you’re a Stone, your family is your highest priority.

From AudioFile
When the Stone family packs up their lunar home to traverse space in their ship, The Rolling Stone, adventures and shenanigans abound. Listeners follow the Stones as they visit several destinations in the solar system, making new friends and occasionally turning a profit. Of the entire family cast, all but Buster, the youngest child, is well voiced. Spencer Murphy pulls double duty as both of the mischievous, intelligent twins, Castor and Pollux, who contrast nicely with their father, performed by Bill Molesky. Caroline Fitzgerald voices grandmother Hazel, making her the finest gem among these stones. Musical segues, though not all well chosen, add to the lighthearted spirit of this family adventure.

About Robert A. Heinlein
Robert A. Heinlein
1907–1988
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction writer. Often called "the dean of science fiction writers", he was one of the most popular, influential, and controversial authors of the genre. He set a high standard for science and engineering plausibility and helped to raise the genre's standards of literary quality. He was one of the first writers to break into mainstream, general magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, in the late 1940s, with unvarnished science fiction. He was among the first authors of bestselling, novel-length science fiction in the modern, mass-market era. For many years, Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction. ([Source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein).)
