Old or new, bought or borrowed, no book will be safe! Book Review: Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson. Identical twins Ruby and Garnet are inseparable. They do everything together and go everywhere together. They love being twins, and since the death of their mother they have been closer than ever, safe in their little world. But when Dad finds a new girlfriend everything in the twins’ lives is turned upside down–new home, new school, new everything. And gradually, being twins isn’t quite the same any more. This is the third Jacqueline Wilson book I have now read in my challenge and I will admit they are starting to become a guilty pleasure of mine. Double Act is a diary written by two twins, Ruby and Garnet, about their lives at age 10. It is a tale of what happens to close friends when you start to leave childhood behind and move towards your teenage years. Considering both twins take it in turns to write entries, it is extremely well written and as always the illustrations compliment the story perfectly. I enjoyed the storyline despite the predictability of it and I did not find the story to be at all condescending or patronising unlike other children’s books. What I liked about this book: I liked having the two sides to the story, both Ruby and Garnet sharing their thoughts and opinions on the different events in the book. The storyline was, as I said, predictable, but I am not a pre-teen and so in that context the predictability doesn’t matter. It was a believable storyline that addresses many different subject matters through the twin’s diary entries. My favourite bit was how the book touched on an issue that would affect a lot of 10-11 year olds: how it feels when your best friend, who you have spent all your childhood years with, goes to a different senior school to you.
