Think of this book as Anne of Green Gables cute meets Scooby Doo Mysteries fun married with Parent Trap vibes and you have a book any preteen or early tween would love 💓
A YA Middle School Cozy Murder Mystery with neurodivergent twins that have been separated since infancy and reconnect one Break. With Parent Trap vibes this precocious pair seek to understand not just the world they are now forced the share but deal with learning to celebrate their own selves, their cultural heritage, and even parts of their religion all while solving a murder mystery. With one twin living in the US and the other in the UK, Riri and Ani need to learn so much about each other so fast and its not a quick or easy start!.
Told in dual POV, each twin has such a wonderfully infectious and unique voice that I just had to read through to see how they were going to solve the mystery and get to stay together. I'm not sure how much to reveal without giving away too much, so I will err on the side of auction because it is a Middle School Mystery, but this was a wonderfully written and fun read.
This is a book at 10, 11, or 12 I would have just fallen into. However, as me today - whose age I will not disclose 😂 - there was a lot of willing suspension of disbelief, but Farook's writing was immersive and exciting. The story shared a lot of depth that I think young teens would be engaged by and small lessons on understanding and compassion that they would benign from. If you have young ones, this would be a great book to share with them and one that would make you smile as they discuss it with you.
Thank you @coloredpagesbt @niylafarook & @piccadilly.press for sharing this #gifted ebook with me.
