The Magic Half

by Annie Barrows.  211p.  


Miri is an only child stuck between two sets of twins.   While her dad says this is part of what makes her special, she feels left out and different.   But after discovering an old glasses lens that transports her to her home during the Great Depression, Miri discovers something wonderful - her very own twin!  Now that they've found each other Miri and Molly must figure out how to get back to the present with out getting hurt - and by bringing down Molly's evil cousin Horst.


Annie Barrows, co-author of the 'Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,' creates a wonderful, magic-filled world that any kid can get sucked into.  And who hasn't spent hours wishing they had a secret twin that they had to save?
