Arlene and Ilene love so many things about being identical twins. They like sharing a room, sharing friends, and wearing matching outfits. But they’re in different classes at school, and one twin has a scar that the other one doesn’t.

One morning, their friends Monty and Joey point out a new difference that takes the sisters by surprise and gets them thinking: if they are identical twins, why are there differences between them at all?

Industry Reviews

These realistic predicaments with warm resolutions will fare well with the chapter-book set. Singletons' interest in twins will be piqued while multiples will find much to relate to.
--Kirkus Reviews

Accessible text and frequent illustrations (artwork not seen) make this a friendly pick for young readers tackling their first chapter books. Themes of identity and self-discovery join amiable characters reminiscent of Clementine, Ivy, and Bean, making this a solid addition to early chapter-book collections.
--Booklist

This gentle twin story explores big questions about identity in an approachable way for budding chapter book readers.
--School Library Journal

Double or Nothing with the Two and Only Kelly Twins is a sweet, easy read...Even if you're not a twin, you can relate to this book.
