Nevermind

By Avi and Rachel Vail 4444

Nevermind is about a girl named Meg, and a boy named Edward, who are twins. They are like “night and day” - total opposites. For the first time Meg transfers to an all girl’s school, and Edward transfers to an all boy’s school. They want to start over, and make new friends and even pretend that each other don’t exist. But when Meg makes up an imaginary brother “Ted” to impress the girls at her school, she suddenly becomes popular.

“Ted” is a great singer, and can play almost any instrument in the world. He is smart, and gets good grades. He can do almost anything! He is the total opposite of Edward. The most popular girl in Meg’s school, Kimberly, asks Meg to ask her brother “Ted” if he could come with his band and play at her birthday party. Meg doesn’t know what to say, so she just says yes. The next day Kimberly calls and Edward picks up the phone. Edward listens on the other line when Meg is talking to Kimberley. He hears all about his imaginary self, and comes up with a plan. Edward told Kimberley on the phone that he can play, and that his bands name is Nevermind. When Kimberly sees Meg at school, Meg came up with a name for the imaginary band. She thought of Nevermind as well. There is a lot of twin telepathy.

I will NOT tell you what happens, but Edward makes up a band with his friends, and gets a band room.

I loved this book because I was supposed to have a twin, and I would like to see how it might have turned out. I strongly recommend this book. It has a mixture of family, friendship, and disasters.
