Product Description
Ten-year-old Ruby and Garnet are identical twins who do everything together. Especially since their mother died three years earlier. They dress alike, wear their hair the same, and sit together in every class. In fact, everything about them is the same--except their personalities. Ruby is funny and outgoing, Garnet is sensitive and shy. Together they're the perfect double act--and that's just the way they like it.
Soon the twins' life is turned upside down. Their dad has been spending a lot of time with his new "friend" Rose. Ruby and Garnet can't stand Rose. To make matters worse, Dad and Rose buy a bookstore out in the country and the whole family moves. Ruby hates their new school, but Garnet thinks it isn't all that bad. When Garnet befriends some of their new classmates, Ruby feels betrayed and stops speaking to Garnet. Garnet misses her sister terribly, but has to admit it's nice doing things on her own for a change. Somehow, the girls will have to find a way to maintain their special twin relationship without spending every minute of the day together.

Double Act is a great book about 2 inseparable twins, their dad, their mom, their gran, and their mean stepmother, Rose.
It is sort of short but is very much worth reading if you like sad books.

You wanna know why this book is so great? Well, you'll just have to read it - but I will tell you a little bit.
This book you are about to order (maybe) Is about identical twins with totally different personalities. Ruby is outgoing and playful, while Garnet is quiet and shy. When their mother dies and gets replaced by frizzy dizzy Rose, they have to team up and stand up against the family.
You're still wondering why this book is so good right? Well, the reason why I rated this book 5 stars is because it is so organized and if you read it, it'll hook you, making you want to read more, more, more: until you finish and complain that there is no sequel to it.
Jacqueline Wilson fans, welcome the amazing: DOUBLE ACT!!!

Welcome to Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson. This book is about 2 girls that are twins. Their names are Ruby and Garnet. They really don't like their Dad's new girlfriend. Their real mother died when they were little. Now their whole life is ruined when Rose comes in. If you want to find out more, just buy the book, you'll love it!I liked this book because I remebered my old friends when reading it. They don't like their stepmother either. They are aleays crying because they want their mother back. I would like to recommend this book to my friends and to all the girls that like reading about twins.

Welcome to Double Act, a book about twins that do the same things but have different attitudes. The characters are Ruby and Garnet, the twins. They do everyting together and want to go to boarding school but only one twin got in!I liked the book because I could visualize what is going on and it has some pictures. There is some action, but I don;t think it is supposed to have much action. I like this book because a lot of people can connect to it. I can copnnect because I get mad at my brother like Ruby gets mad at Garnet. I recommend this book to all twins because the book is about twins. I think that twins would connect to this book the most.

The author of this book is Jacueline wilson.This book is about two twins named Ruby and Garnet that have probloms in there life. Some probloms they fix and some they dont.There dad also has a new girlfriend named Rose and she brings even more afliction into the family. What i liked about the book was that the story was told by the twins. I think that if the story was told by the authors point of view it would be very tiresome. I think it was great that both of the twins got to write in the book because its fastidious to know somthing from two point of view. I would rate this book a little under ok because it wasnt such an exciting book.I think this book should be for 5th graders cause its boring for older people.
