Another identity-switching adventure.
Twins, Susan & Christine Pratt, decide to switch places again in this book, the second in the series. Christine is chosen as Queen of Centennial Week because of a paper that she wrote for the town's celebration. Since her sister Susan, helped her quite a bit in writting the paper, Christine believes that Susan should also share in the honor of being queen. The twins decide that each girl will spend time being Christine Pratt during the week-long celebration and if they pull it off, they'll celebrate with hot fudge sundaes. This is a charming story filled with adventure, romance and a pair of twins that you won't be able to forget. It is the perfect book for any young girl or anyone who's ever wanted to know what it was like being a twin.

The Homecoming dance is just around the corner and the only thing the twins have on their minds are boys. The only problem is they have no idea what actually makes boys tick.

So Christine invents "Charlie Pratt", and says that he is the girls' cousin who is visiting the Pratt twins and going to school with Susan while Christine is out sick. This is a hilarious book that is timeless in its theme. Any young child would love Susan and Christine's adventure in what exactly drives boys.

An International Twin Scheme
Identical twins, Susan & Christine Pratt, visit Washington D.C. on a class trip in book number 7 of the series. While there, they meet a young Russian ballerina who asks the twins help in defecting. This is my favorite book in the twins series. It is a well-written, edge-of-your-seat book for young people about friendship at any cost. Kids will love to read this book over and over again to share the twins fun & crazy adventure to outwitt the KGB, and their plan begins with pink-lemonade colored dresses...
