Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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.

Identical twins Ruby and Garnet are inseparable. They do everything together, and go every where 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, Jacqueline Wilson brilliantly captures the pain and uncertainty that change can sometimes bring with it. This story of two little girls gradually realising that they have no real control over what is happening is both funny and poignant, but it is as the twins begin to accept that things will never be quite the same that Wilson shines, allowing her characters to grow and develop as individuals without ever losing sight of the bond that holds them together. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Realistic, very funny.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Double Act: Complete & Unabridged (Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
This book shows the suffering of two twins - Ruby and Garnet. They miss their gran and really want to get rid of their dads girlfriend, Rose. They have written a diary telling you what they are doing, and this book is the diary. Ruby wants both of them to be an actress, but Garnet disagrees. She wants them to do well at school and in their studies so they can become clever. My favorite part of the story is when Garnet throws up on Rose and Ruby is laughing like mad. My other favorite part is when Ruby and Garnet try to confuse Rose by swapping seats with each other and doing things at exactly the same time so she gets freaked out.

Double act is about twins called Ruby and Garnet. Ruby is a real drama queen and loves to act plays and Garnet is the exact oppisite. thier mother is dead and thier father has found a girl-friend. they move away and they hate thier new school. Thier father is opening a book shop with his girl friend (Rose). In he end they end up going thier seprate ways. Other books by Jaqualine Willson that I'v enjoyed are 'The Dare game.','How to survive summer camp''The story of Tracy Beaker'and'The Illastrated mum' If you read this book you are bound to love it!
