Ruby and Garnet are ten-year-old twins. They’re identical, and they do everything together, especially since their mother died three years earlier – but they couldn’t be more different. Bossy, bouncy, funny Ruby loves to take charge, while quiet, sensitive, academic Garnet loves nothing more than to curl up with one of her favourite books.

My mummy is a twin so I lived reading about Ruby and Garnet in this book. I also have a sister so it was good to read a book about sisters.

This is a really funny book because the twins always know what the other is going to say or do. I like Jacqueline Wilson books and this made me laugh.

I liked it because of how the characters were very different but looked the same, they had very different personalities. The author did such a good job of describing the characters that I could always tell which was which in the pictures. Yes I would recommend this book to other readers, I really enjoyed it.

Ruby and garnet are twins who do everything together bit they have differences that means they may not be able to work together forever
