About Jennifer's Books
"Priscilla and Penelope are twins but they couldn’t be more different. Priscilla doesn’t care about anything but playing sports and being herself, while Penelope cares most about popularity and clothes. At 12, they are growing apart, but when they move with their mother to the old family house, strange happenings draw them back together, and into a world of magic and secrecy.
The house whispers to them, the neighbors are hostile and strange, and it seems that the neighbor’s cat is spying on them. When they discover an old magical book, the sisters learn that they have to stick together to protect the family secret from the townspeople. They discover talking creatures, including a rat Oswald and the firefly Willow, and become friends with Maggie, their enchanted house.
The sisters learn about their ancestry, the Enlightened Ones, and discover they themselves are destined to carry on the family tradition of witchcraft to protect their family and town from evil forces. This book is filled with enchantment, mystery, and merriment. Pre-teenagers will love reading the story of these twins as they learn to stick together despite their differences. This is a long book, but the chapters are short enough to allow reading out loud. The only illustrations are small pencil sketches at the beginning of each chapter.”
