Blurb -
"This book introduces two new characters to the many devoted Beverly Cleary readers. Mitch and Amy Huff are nine-year-old twins - equally matched in ability, but very different in personality. Close as only twins are, Mitch and Amy nevertheless have a special gift for infuriating the other. The intensity of the relationship is what interests Mrs.Cleary, and what she has written her story about.
The twins' year in fourth grade was marked by quarrels and reconciliations as any other year. Amy could not resist taunting Mitch over his reading difficulties, yet she was the one who finally found the book her brother first read independently. When Mitch unwittingly became the target of a school bully, Amy kept Mrs. Huff from interfering, and together they handled the problem in their own way.
Amusing and touching by turn, these experiences are related with an exact ear for the way children talk and an observant eye for the way they behave. 'Mitch and Amy' will soon take its place with 'Henry Huggins' and the author's other much loved classics."
