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 review is from: Double Act (Paperback)
About the author of the book

Jacqueline Wilson is one of my favourite authors and she wrote this great book! She has her own personal collection of over 15,000 books and I don't even have about a thirtieth of that (500 books)!

About the awards for the book

This book has won the Smarties Book Prize and the Children's Book Award; it has being shortlisted for the Young Telegraph/ Fully Booked Award and being shortlisted for the Nottingham Children's Book Award.

The story plot of the book

Ruby and Garnet are twins; they live with their gran and their dad and the family live happily for a long time. However, with dad's girlfriend Rose, will everything change? Find out what happened to them when they had to move away to a horrible, little village by the country...

My awards for the book

I would rate this brilliant book 10/ 10; I really, really, really, really, really, really enjoyed this book, to prove that I really, really, really, really, really, really, really enjoyed this book, I couldn't put it down until the very end! I would recommend it to anyone who really likes Jacqueline Wilson's books - just like me, especially girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic, very funny., 3 Mar 2001
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.
