A couple of years ago, when I saw this book arriving in stores, I actually yelled with joy! The Baby-sitters' Club had been my favorite series for years by then, and Abby was my favorite BSC member. So it was very convent for me, as a scoiosis pashent, to read this book.

Take it from me. The book was VERY realstic and updated. The brace the author discribed Anna wearing sounded very much like my own. I also admired how Anna insisted she work things through her own way because that's how I felt.

Abby's Twin helped me feel better when I was 13, and it still does. It helped me feel that I was not alone. When I finished reading that book it was well worth it because it made me smile. Now, years later, when I pick it up it makes me happy all over again.

EVERYONE (if you have scoliosis or not) read this book! It's a story I still love today.

In this book, Abby finds out she and Anna have scoliosis. Abby only has a little bit of it, so she dosen't have to wear a brace. But Anna has to because of the way her spine is. Scoliosis is a thing where your spine is not completely straight. As a result, if it's bad you might have to wear a brace. Anna's brace, she will wear underneath her clothing. Since if she wears bulky clothes so nobody will notice her brace, Abby gets an idea to buy her some clothes. That's one of the many things Abby does to try to make Anna feel better. But the clothes she chooses are things only Abby would like, meaning she bought clothes Anna hates! Abby also cuts her hair to look just like Anna. Abby even wanted to try on Anna's brace! Also, the BSC is planning a Winter Carnival, but the snow is dissapearing! How will things get back to normal if they are already this bad? Find out in BSC#4, Abby's Twin!

It was a very touching story. I think that twins should read it. It will teach them that they should be there for their twin but give them a little space to have their time instead of like Abby cause she was constintly around Anna which bugged Anna but Abby didn't know. She acted like Anna couldn't do anything. But Abby just had to get used to it.

I think that this book was really neat like a lot of Ann M. Martin's books i think that she is a great writer and the books of the Baby-sitters Club are really neat. I have read almost every one of the Baby-sitters club and i hope that she continutes to keep writing so we have something to read.

Abby has a twin sister named Anna. Anna has scoloisis. Abby tries to be protective. nstead, this gets on with a fight!

I thought this book was a realistic look at sisters. It's about time that a Ann M. Martin realized that siblings do fight. The only thing was, I didn't like how Abby thought she was doing the right thing when it was obvious to the reader that she was only pushing her sister farther away. Other than that it was a great story of friendship and family. I recommend it to any Abigail Stevenson fan.

Abby is surprised when she finds that her sister has spinal problems. Abby tries to help Anna, but she didn't seem to be helping. I like this book because it shows how siblings care about one another.

I enjoyed Abby's Twin. I have twins in my school and I can see how they can relate to the story. I enjoy all of Martin's BSC book but I think this is one of her finest. The reason the book recieved a 4 is because it isn't her best work.

Anna has just been diagnosed with scoliosis. Even though Abby and Anna aren't that much alike Abby starts to realize just how precious having a twin can be. So she goes overboard trying to be exactly like Anna. She cuts her hair exactly like Anna and even wants to have scoliosis. But Anna doesn't appreciate it. Will Anna forgive Anna? Will Abby stop trying to be like another Anna? Find out.

Abby's twin is one of the first books in the BSC that I bought. This book is full of reality. When Abby's twin, Anna, gets scoliosis, Abby feels guilty. So she tries to cheer Anna up, which only makes it worse. Anna doesn't seem to want Abby's help. Abby's confused. Twins are supposed to be there for each other, aren't they? What will happen to the twin's relationship? Read the book and join in!
