When twin sisters Arabella and Henrietta become separated after a big fight, their strong sense of attachment leads them to find one another again.

The Trouble with Twins

Two kids are about to find out that their lives are anything but ordinary when a ghost arrives and stirs up adventure. Perfect for fans of A Tale Dark and Grimm! Barbara Anne would describe herself as spunky, but some might call her a bit . . . prickly. Maybe even bossy? When Henry moves to town, he's quickly deemed the class oddball--but Barbara Anne knows a fast friend when she sees one. It's not long before they discover there's much more than "ordinary" to the house Henry's family moved into in town. In fact, there's nothing ordinary about a house haunted by a ghost named Edgar. Edgar's been visiting Henry nonstop--in his dreams, at school, everywhere he goes. Along with a ragtag cast of friends, Henry and Barbara Anne soon learn that ghosts are always ghosts for a reason . . . and suddenly it's up to Barbara Anne and Henry to figure out why Edgar is stuck here and can't move on.

The Haunting of Henry Davis

When twin sisters become separated after a big fight, their strong sense of attachment leads them to find one another again.

Kate DiCamillo meets Lemony Snicket in this darkly comic novel about two sisters who learn they are each others' most important friend! Imagine two twin sisters, Arabella and Henrietta--nearly identical yet with nothing in common. They're the best of friends . . . until one day they aren't. Plain and quiet Henrietta has a secret plan to settle the score, and she does something outrageous and she can't take it back. When the deed is discovered, Henrietta is sent to live with her eccentric great-aunt! Suddenly life with pretty, popular Arabella doesn't seem so awful. And, though she's been grievously wronged, Arabella longs for her sister, too. So she hatches a plan of her own and embarks on an unexpected journey to reunite with her other half.

A twin banished . . . an unbreakable bond . . . an unlikely fairytale. Sometimes a disaster is just a disaster, and nothing good can be said about it. But sometimes a disaster is an excuse for a fresh start. Arabella and Henrietta are twins. If you saw them, you'd find it very hard to tell them apart. But once you get to know them, you'll discover that although they look alike, that's where the similarity ends . . . Henrietta is a constant headache for her parents-always causing problems and upset. Why, oh why can't she be more like Arabella? Sent away to live with strange Aunt Renfrew, Henrietta wonders if she'll ever see Arabella again. But the bond between sisters is strong, and even stronger when your sister is also your twin and your best friend. And so Arabella begins her journey through the forest to find Henrietta . . . A contemporary and unique fairytale for modern readers. Perfect for fans of books by Emma Carroll and Michelle Harrison. [Review from Booklist] 'With an abundance of quirk
