Fifteen different siblings and their stories
of bonding and rivalry are covered in the chapters of this fun read. Each family has a biography that concentrates
on why they are famous and how as siblings they worked together or against each
other. Some of the siblings discussed
include Peyton and Eli Manning; the Wright brothers; the Disney brothers; the
Romanovs; Queen Elizabeth and Bloody Mary and the Siamese Bunkers twins.
I loved this book because it made me laugh
and it was full of fascinating gossipy type facts. Each
chapter has illustrations and a short comic strip that summarizes the story. It’s a fast read with entertaining stories
throughout.
