Keeps You In Anticipation

This is a good book. It isn't very long compared to what I'm used to, but that's okay because I wanted to find out the ending in that one sitting. The story keeps you in anticipation, though a few parts are predictable. Here is basically the story for each twin (no spoilers ahead): Mary-Kate: It's almost winter break, and Mary-Kate's class has been assigned a last-chance-to-not-fail-the-class group project. Even though snobby Penelope aced the most recent test (unlike everyone else), she volunteers to be a part of the project anyway. To Mary-Kate's horror, she is assigned to their group. How will she get through December when Penelope insists on studying 24/7, and makes jokes about the other kids' Christmas spirit? And in the midst of all the unwanted emotions, how can Mary-Kate catch cutie Carter Black's eye? Ashley: Ashley comes up with a great idea: Secret Santa! All of the students' names will be thrown into a hat, then each student will draw a name. Then they will have to secretly leave gifts for that person until a party, when everyone will reveal who they were Secret Santa for. So if Ashley was the one to come up with this bright idea, why did her Secret Santa leave her a half-eaten sandwich, stinky gym socks, and a lump of coal? Overall, an interesting, enjoyable book from the "Two of a Kind" series. Not overly detailed, descriptive, or worthy of an award, but a fun, girly book that I would recommend to girls ages 9-12.

Great book--funny too!

This book was funny and it was good, too. I liked it. Mary-Kate gets great gifts from her Secret Santa, but Ashley doesn't. She gets the worst gifts! Dana Woletsky, Ashley's nemesis, thinks Ashley gifts are hilarious! Could the gifts be from Dana? Also, Mary-Kate is having trouble getting along with the new girl, Penelope. Penelope is not very nice, and Mary-Kate just doesn't understand why. Will Mary-Kate and Penelope learn to get along? Read the book to find out! :)
