Product description
Identical twins Ruby and Garnet are inseparable. They do everything and go everywhere together. No-one can even tell them apart! Since the death of their mother, the girls have become closer than ever, safe in their closed little world. But when Dad finds a new girlfriend, everything in the twins’ lives turns upside down. Soon they find themselves in a new home, going to a new school and making new friends. And gradually, they find that being the same isn’t the same anymore… This moving, skilfully-told story of family and identity vividly shows the struggles that children, and twins in particular, can face in embracing their own individuality and potential for change.

on 18 April 2017I honestly think that you should’ve done another book after it in the same series because it was a really really really good book and I loved it and I will give it 10 out of 10 if I was scoring it but I would’ve liked to have read another one of the series

on 6 March 2014This book is very fantastic. I cannot describe it because I love it so much. It’s funny, sad(a tiny bit!) and also heartwarming. I do understand that no one could be like a mother to them, because your mother gave birth to you and knows every silly detail about you. I love double act!

on 5 March 2014read it ages ago and can hardly remember it but I remember one of them got through to a dance/drama thing?

Lilystar1133
on 4 March 2014I would strongly recommend this book to any one who has a twin because it’s kind of a story of how you can still be twins even though your twin is somewhere else. To expand, there is also a movie (which I’ve watched) but I personally think that the movie is better than the book because you can see what the author is talking about. I rate this book as 5 stars because I don’t like it, I love it!

on 5 March 2013This is a book about two twins.One of the two is very smart her name is Garnet and the other Ruby. There is very few people who can tell them apart.When they were babies their mother died. And a few years on there dad meets up with a woman named Rose.The twins hate her so does gran. Ruby & Garnet LOVE their gran so much, but one day they had to leave her they were so annoyed. The story goes on but I’ll leave u 2 find out! I would advise u 2 read it because its action-packed and exiting!!

on 29 September 2012I think it is a rather rude for children! And has very unsutible pictures in it. I think I shouldn’t be rated for younger children as it is not sutible…. It should be for 50-99 yr olds.

on 8 July 2012I liked how there were two people writing in 1st person. Like writing in a diary because i like reading books in a layout of a diary, so i enjoyed reading it. I borrow loads of Jacqueline Wilson book’s from the library at least once a week! xx

Ponymonster12
on 9 June 2012As I have read this book 11 times I could probaly tell you a lot about it so dont even hesitate reading this brilliant book it amazing in the way it is told and how emotianally it is told which in the end always turns out to be funny. I think WIlson has used her strengths well in this book and has really gone to town with the idea of the twins losing their mom and being like chalk and cheese (Completely Different) !!! Read this book it is a modern day classic :)

on 12 May 2012Excellent book told by Ruby and Garnet as they travel through hard times. Leaving Gran behind, having a new stepmother,moving in with her and of course Garnet going to a new private school! Ruby is devastated and gets into loads of trouble waiting for the return of her sister. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! I HOPE MY REVIEW WAS HELPFUL :)

on 3 March 2012Another amazing Jacky Wilson read. For all ages, everyone will find something they like about this book. I love how it’s almost written as if both characters are writing the story in some parts, while in others its as if your looking down into their lives. There are exciting twists in the tail, and you just want to read more and more and more!
