Henerietta wanted her sister understand how sad it is to be in her place so she wanted to do something to Arabella. I believe you can guess what kind of thoughts might come across Henerietta’s mind and how she cope with all those loneliness despite being a twin sister, their daily lives were way too different. As time goes by, one becomes lonelier and all she has is her sister, while another has everything she wants, everyone adores her and even their parents favour her more. Henerietta is quiet and dull, while Arabella is lively and friendly. You may think just because they are twins, the girls might look exactly the same, umm, they do but their way of talking and facial expressions are totally unalike. The whole story is about identical twins (but not so identical in behaviors), how different their lives are although they live together (well, at first). I don’t know why this book turned out to be dark, i was expecting for a bit normal and happy kind of story with young children and happy families telling about their adventures. But sometimes a disaster is an excuse for a fresh start.” - KATHRYN SIEBEL “Sometimes a disaster is just a disaster, and nothing good can be said about it. #thetroublewithtwins #kathrynsiebel #bookstagram #middlegradebooks #books #read So she hatches a plan of her own and embarks on an unexpected journey to reunite with her other half.” When the deed is discovered, Henrietta is sent to live with her eccentric great-aunt! Suddenly life with pretty, popular Arabella doesn't seem so awful.Īnd, though she's been grievously wronged, Arabella longs for her sister, too.
Plain and quiet Henrietta has a secret plan to settle the score, and she does something outrageous and she can't take it back. “Imagine two twin sisters, Arabella and Henrietta-nearly identical yet with nothing in common. The rest of the book is them trying to get back together. It involves some sibling jealousy and one fateful decision to chop the others bangs off, which lands her at what appears to be her weird and scary aunt’s house.
“The Trouble with Twins” by Kathryn Siebel reminded me of a clever and adventurous story like Pippi Longstocking.
