Quoting from the back cover:
"When 12-year-old identical twin sister Penelope and Priscilla Post move to the small town of Dunville with their mother, they are greeted with cold, angry stares from the townspeople. Over the next few weeks, mysterious events take place within their house, causing the girls to argue about their origins. When Priscilla suggests that her house is enchanted, Penelope becomes angry. She wants nothing to do with magic.
"Upset over the growing distance between her daughters, Mom enlists the help of Penelope and Priscilla’s grandmother to devise a plan to help mend the girl’s relationship. Little do they know that their plan will do much more than intended. With the help of a 200-year old magical book, their house, and its talking inhabitants, the girls come together to defeat their sinister neighbor and protect their family secret."
This is a delightful book to entertain young teenage girls. It is fast paced and imaginative and kept me reading till the end. Jennifer Troulis is a good writer; however, the book could benefit from further editing.
