Being a twin is forever, but for Abigail and Brooklyn, starting grade five is about to test their bond in ways they never expected.
Book one in a fun, warm-hearted series from bestselling author – and twin – Kristin Darell.

Identical twins Abi and Brook are inseparable. They’ve always been in the same class; they dance together; they're in a rock band together; they even have the same best friend.

But for the first time, they’ve been put in different classes at school and everything they think they know about each other is put to the test. Can Abi and Brook find a way to accept the changes in themselves and each other? And can they pull together in time to play in the school talent show?
