The Accidental Twins
Jill Bennett
Susan Green and Sally Gray look alike and share the same birthday but they have never been friends and are less than delighted at being labelled 'accidental twins' by everyone else in school. A their ninth birthdays approach things seem to be getting even worse. A nicely observed home and school story. Eight chapters, 63 pages.
