Double Act
by Jacqueline Wilson
Identical twins Ruby and Garnet share a diary and do everything together, until one of them auditions for a part and the other does not want to.
A story about children and families, funny and moving in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
