by Lynne Reid Banks (Author)
Angela and Diabola are twins, but from the moment they enter the world -- one with a smile and the other with a vengeance -- they have nothing in common. "Don't you call me nice names! You make me sick, you icky sticky creepie crawlie little goody-goody." Twins are meant to be alike, but Angela and Diabola are opposites in every way. Angela is completely good: Diabola is pure evil. Everyone loves Angela: Even the vicar is terrified of Diabola! As Diabola's powers grow, it seems that no one can stop her. Only Angela seems to know what goes on in her twin's mind. A wickedly black comedy from a master storyteller.
