Henrietta and Arabella are twins
but their lives couldn't be more different. Everyone loves Arabella and wants
to be around her , but it's not the same for Henrietta. After an incident at home, Henrietta is sent
to live with Aunt Priscilla. Things
don't start out great for Henrietta, but slowly seem to be taking a turn for
the better. Meanwhile, Arabella thinks
all will be better without Henrietta, but finds she misses her sister and
decides to head out on her own to visit.
Initially I was a little concerned and didn't like where this was headed
but it turned out to be quite a cute story with some interesting characters,
unusual circumstances and a good ending.
Even the narrator didn't detract from the story and added a little
humor. While both girls had adventures
apart and perspectives changed, they
knew they wanted to be together and found their own place in the family.
