The Trouble With Twins
Kathryn Siebel
"With a refreshing take on the sibling relationship, this early middle grade novel is a good fit for readers moving out of chapter books or as a story to read together." - Seira Wilson, Amazon EditorKate DiCamillo meets Lemony Snicket in this darkly comic novel about two sisters who learn they are each others' most important friend!Imagine two twin sisters, Arabella and Henrietta--nearly identical yet with nothing in common. They're the best of friends . . . until one day they aren't. Plain and quiet Henrietta has a secret plan to settle the score, and she does something outrageous and she can't take it back. When the deed is discovered, Henrietta is sent to live with her eccentric great-aunt! Suddenly life with pretty, popular Arabella doesn't seem so awful. And, though she's been grievously wronged, Arabella longs for her sister, too. So she hatches a plan of her own and embarks on an unexpected journey to reunite with her other half.

The Trouble With Twins review by Emmaline
Emmaline

Arabella and Henrietta Osgood may be twins, but they couldn't be more different. Arabella is social, has lots of friends, and is very pretty, while Henrietta is just the opposite. One day Henrietta's envy of her sister takes over, and her action gets her banished to Aunt Priscilla's house, where she's stuck making fish head soup. Arabella has nightmares about what Henrietta is doing at Aunt Priscilla's house, and this scares her into action. She decides she will rescue her sister and sets out on her adventure. Will Arabella find and rescue her sister?
