Dual Dilemmas

Thirteen-year-old twin sisters Chevy and Daniela Dembowitz couldn’t be more different. While Chevy is studious, reserved and a homebody, Daniela is popular, outgoing and always spending time out. And while Chevy is busy winning awards, Daniela is busy winning friends. The seventh grade election for G.O. president brings with it a new twist in their relationship. When Daniela does something that Chevy finds hard to forgive, Daniela is forced to reveal her long-kept secret to her sister. Will Chevy stand by her twin? Will she “be her friend and help her fit in” as a perceptive stranger suggests? Will Daniela come around and face her challenge? Or will she hide her secret from the world forever? Previously serialized in the popular Binah Bunch magazine, Dual Dilemmas is a keenly insightful and realistic story about acceptance, pride and self-confidence; a timeless theme geared for today’s preteen.
