Two Much Alike

By: Bernice Thurman Hunter

It's 1953: television is the newest thing, girls wear dresses to play outside -- and Carrie and Connie Taylor are almost twelve years old. Living in Detroit, Michigan, "the twins" are so identical they fool people by switching clothes or classes in school. They even have their own private language! But after their Canadian cousin says that twins have no identity, Carrie decides to "individuate." She tries tolook and act different from Connie, and Connie is miserable -- if she is not Carrie's twin, who is she? Told in a fresh, lively voice, this story of a pre-teen finding out who she is has great appeal, especially to readers who wonder about the mysterious lives of identical twins.

Booky

A Trilogy

By: Bernice Thurman Hunter,Tony Meers

Beatrice Thomson doesn't mind her funny nickname. It makes her feel special, which is important when you're the middle child: not the smartest, or the best-looking, or a boy. The Depression years are hard ones, with her father out of work and the family struggling to make ends meet. But irrepressible Booky, with her big imagination and even bigger plans, can tackle anything. A sharp-eyed kid can find plenty to see and do without spending a cent. Even if it does get her into scrapes!
