Cally and Jimmy: Twins in Trouble
Age 5+
Humorous Stories School Stories Family & Home Stories Personal & Social Issues: Siblings
Four stories in one!
I have a twin brother. Everyone calls him Jimmy, which is sort of the English verison of Dimitri, his actual Greek name. Our mum's Greek, you see. I'm Cally, short for Calista, which means, I don't want to sound big-headed or anything, but it means 'most beautiful'. I'm not sure about Dimitri, but if Dimitri means most-annoying-brother-in-the-whole-wide-world, then that's him.
Join Cally and Jimmy in four hilarious stories! They get into scrapes together, bake some poisonous cakes, almost ruin their school assembly and finally have a twintastic birthday party.

Reviews
Twins bring double the trouble and double the fun… recommended reading and hopefully there’ll be more adventures to come.
LoveReading4Kids
Extremely relatable and genuine. Funny without being silly, and heartwarming without being soppy, Twins in Trouble is an excellent choice for parents and children (or even brothers and sisters!) to share.
