The Twins: The thrilling Richard & Judy Book Club Pick

Product Information

Dark, twisty and genuinely impossible to put down' Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect Girlfriend Mam'zelle! What on earth is a Mam'zelle? If you're French or maybe English, you probably know but the avid readers of Enid Blyton books in a host of countries right round the world will also find out and even relate to this extraordinary character. While twins at Auschwitz were granted the 'privileges' of keeping their own clothes and hair, they were also subjected to Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. They were forced to fight daily for their own survival and many died as a result of the experiments, or from the disease and hunger rife in the concentration camp. Shapiro, Harriet (27 October 1986).

The Twins, also known as the Hutt Twins, [2] referred to a Hutt brother and sister who were crime lords during the New Republic Era. They were cousins of Tatooine crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, and when Boba Fett usurped the throne of Tatooine from Bib Fortuna as the new Daimyo, the Twins traveled to Mos Espa and confronted Lord Fett, laying claim to Jabba's territory. They were carried on a litter through the streets of Mos Espa, and employed many servants, a drummer, as well as the gladiator and bounty hunter Krrsantan. [1]

These stimulating stories encourage children to make sense of the world—and we’ve heard so much fun stories about how this is working so well. The pair were the subject of the 1986 television drama The Silent Twins, broadcast on BBC2 as part of its Screen Two series, [21] and an Inside Story documentary Silent Twin – Without My Shadow, which aired on BBC1 in September 1994. [22] A play based on Wallace's book, titled Speechless, debuted in London in 2011. [13]As the founder and president of a thriving non-profit and the author of over two dozen books, I’ve spent years trying to figure out simple and effective ways of teaching other people important principles. Along the way, I came to realize something: kids can understand these ideas, too. When we started selling these books, we weren’t sure if there would be demand. We made them as a labor of love—because we believe in these ideas so strongly. In this first book of the St Clare's series we are introduced to Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan, the heroines of the series. In common with other Blyton school series, the twins join the school when the rest of their first form class mates have already been there a couple of terms and hence have to struggle to make their mark. Overall, this first of this series shows that the O'Sullivan spirit is present and previously undiscovered qualities could emerge which might catapult the twins into higher stratospheres — but that's another tale to be told.

I’m including this set of identical twins partly because they are iconic, and partly because I gave a critically acclaimed performance as Tweedledum in my primary school’s production of Alice Through the Looking Glass, so I feel a powerful connection to the character. Perhaps surprisingly given how well-known they are, Tweedledum and Tweedledee only feature in a single chapter of Through the Looking Glass. They recite a poem to Alice, taunt her with some weird philosophical banter, and then run away from a massive crow. Harpin, Anna; Nicholson, Helen (7 October 2016).

The Tuttle Twins books challenges children to learn “adult” ideas—and they love it! We explain these ideas simply, and with helpful illustrations… and we’ve been amazed at how well kids rise to this challenge. Yours will, too. And freedom-loving parents like you might question whether your kids could be interested in—and understand!—these real-world concepts.Meanwhile the twins get to know the other girls in their form. There is the forthright Janet, the steady Hilary, the shy Kathleen and the snobbish Sheila. The latter of these two provide the main 'lessons' of the book, with Kathleen emerging as a thief who steals to earn friendship and Sheila a girl from a poor family made good who is unsure of how to act in her new social position and consequently over-acts. The term ends with both of these girls settling down as integrated members of the form. a b c d e Morgan, Kathleen (2 August 2010). "Tragic tale of twins and their secret world". Herald Scotland.

The Twins is a must-read for all psychological thriller fans' Sarah Clarke, author of A Mother Never Lies Shakespeare was interested in twins. He included not one but two pairs of identical twins in The Comedy of Errors, as well as Viola and Sebastian in Twelfth Night. The latter are obviously not identical, but after Viola disguises herself as a man, they apparently become indistinguishable (some suspension of disbelief is required). This leads to all manner of comedic confusion. Of course, Shakespeare himself was also the father of twins, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died at 11, about five years before Twelfth Night was written, and this knowledge gives added poignancy to Viola and Sebastian’s reunion at the end of the play, each having believed the other dead.
