Bookroo's summary

Mitch and Amy, twins with clashing interests, are constantly at odds. Mitch excels in math, while Amy loves reading and pretend play. Their sibling rivalry takes a backseat when school bully Alan Hibbler targets them both. Faced with a common enemy, the twins must put aside their differences and join forces. Can they overcome their squabbles to stand up to the bully and protect each other? This tale of teamwork and resilience is perfect for young readers navigating sibling dynamics and school challenges.

From the publisher

Double Trouble

Mitch and Amy both think being twins is fun, but that doesn’t stop them from squabbling. Amy is good at reading. Mitch is a math whiz. Amy likes to play pretend. Mitch would rather skateboard. They never want to watch the same television show. And they always try to get the better of each other.

Then the school bully starts picking on Mitch – and on Amy, too. Now the twins have something rotten in common: Alan Hibbler. This twosome must set aside their squabbles and band together to defeat a bully!
