The Terrible Twins

The Dangerfield twins are not your ordinary children. Violet Anastasia and Hyacinth Wolfram Dangerfield have opinions, vehement ones, about catapult bans, their mother's potential remarriage, and the general incompetence of adults running the world. When Captain Baster appears on the horizon with matrimonial intentions, the twins launch a campaign of delightful sabotage while pursuing their most ambitious scheme yet: establishing a cats' home entirely of their own making. This is childhood as a declaration of independence, written with affection for its small rebels. Jepson understands something essential about growing up: the fierce conviction that you can do better, the strategic brilliance required to outmaneuver your elders, and the particular love between siblings who are rivals and co-conspirators in equal measure.
