INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bradley, Kimberly Brubaker

One-of-a-Kind Mallie

(3) 4-6 A quiet but warm-hearted sequel to Ruthie's Gift stars Ruthie's fourth-grader friends, identical twins Hallie and Mallie. Mallie, who'd "have given a thousand dollars in gold not to be a twin," struggles by fits and starts to create an identity for herself separate from Hallie. Set in the Midwest during WWI, this story about the tribulations of twinhood is really the story of any siblings, anywhere, who look for recognition and independence within their families.
