INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(3) 4-6 Few people can tell ten-year-old twins Ruby and Garnet apart: "Well, until we start talking," as Ruby writes in the journal the girls share. Outgoing, bossy Ruby leads; shy Garnet follows. When their widowed father and his girlfriend buy a bookstore in the country, the move precipitates changes in the twins' relationship. Economical line drawings reinforce the book's funny, sharply realized characters and realistic tone.
