Review

This debut novel is about Arabella and Henrietta who are identical twins. Though like many twins they are not alike. Arabella is outgoing, good looking and popular. Henrietta is very quiet and shy, and not as well groomed. Because of these differences Arabella gets all the attention while Henrietta is pushed aside. This leads to greatly hurt feelings on the part of Henrietta. So Henrietta seeks revenge on her sister and as punishment is sent to live with an eccentric great-aunt. After a time the girls start to miss each other and Arabella hatches a plan to reunite them - let the adventure begin! A fun read with lots of twists and turns.
