Product Description
From Amazon
Eve Karpf reads Jacqueline Wilson's Double Act in this unabridged three-cassette audio book. 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 anymore.
In Double Act, Wilson brilliantly captures the pain and uncertainty that change can bring. This story of two little girls gradually realising that they have no control over what is happening is both funny and poignant. Wilson shines as the twins begin to accept that things will never be quite the same, allowing her characters to grow and develop as individuals without ever losing sight of the bond that holds them together. Running time is three hours and 40 minutes. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Ten-year-old British twins Ruby and Garnet take turns narrating this broad comedy, a winner of the Smarties Prize; PW described it as "an unexceptional mix of familiar plot devices." Ages 9-12.

another hit from Jacqueline Wilson,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jacqueline Wilson's Double Decker: "Double Act", "Bad Girls" (Paperback)
This book is about twins called Ruby and Garnet. I liked this story for lots of reasons. I am interested in what life is like for twins. The story is written from the point of view of each twin - the twins take it in turns to narrate a chapter. I also enjoyed the different things going on in the story. Some parts are funny, other parts are a little sadder - Ruby and Garnet are not always happy to be identical twins. I couldn't put the book down - but then I am always like that with a Jacqueline Wilson book.

This is one of my favorite books!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jacqueline Wilson's Double Decker: "Double Act", "Bad Girls" (Paperback)
I read a book called Double Act. This was one of the best books that I have ever read. It was funny, adventurous, and very much like real life. It was adventurous because the two main characters, Ruby and Garnet, who are identical twins, ask their dad (their mom is dead) if they can audition for a twin commercial, but he says no. Regardless of this, they go to New York and audition. It was funny because their dad met someone that they hate and they do funny things like confuse her, throw-up on her, etc. This is realistic because she made these two characters act how real twins act-I would know because I have a twin sister. Jacqueline wilson has a very unique writing style. she uses cliffhangers,and writes in a way that there is never a part whereit isn't interesting, boring or obvious. this is a book that you just can't put down! When you come acorss a book well-written, like this one, you say, "Mom, just let me finish this chapter I have just one more page to finish!" You really have three, but anything to read more of it! I suggest this book to anyone who like funny, adventurous, and realistic books.

Double Act,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jacqueline Wilson's Double Decker: "Double Act", "Bad Girls" (Paperback)
I like this book because the twins were best friends.it was sad and happy at the same time. it held my interest from the start to the very last page. My favourite part was when they went to the audition in London.
