Let's Get Together by Brandy Colbert

"A delightful tale of family lost and found." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning author Brandy Colbert gives The Parent Trap a fresh, funny, and delightfully unexpected update in this story of two girls--one raised by her single father, the other in the foster care system--who meet by chance...only to discover they're identical twins.

Kenya Norwood likes things just the way they are. She's lived all her life in Pasadena with her dad and grandmother, she's attended the same school with the same friends since pre-K, and she's always the center of attention. Even as she's about to start middle school, she knows one thing for sure: None of that is going to change.

For Liberty Perry, change is all she's ever known. Her mother disappeared when she was a toddler, and ever since, she's never stayed in one place for long. But things seem different with her new foster mother, Joey. Maybe in this home, in this school, change won't come so quickly.

But then, everything changes--the day Liberty and Kenya meet, and discover they are identical.

Neither of them is ready to find out she has a twin sister (in fact, they're unsure if they even want one), and when the girls learn the truth of how they were separated, it's clear that no one else in their lives was ready for this, either. But the connection they share might be even stronger than the things that kept them apart--and they begin to suspect that teaming up might be the only way to set everything right.

Little & Lion, Pointe, Discovering Yvonne, and The Revolution of Birdie Randolph are among Brandy Colbert's award-winning novels. Her short fiction and articles have appeared in a number of critically acclaimed young adult collections. She lives in Los Angeles and teaches at Hamline University's MFA program in children's literature. @brandycolbert is her Twitter handle.
