I had to jump ahead due to library availability, and now I'm really curious which book sends them to boarding school?

Anyway, this was super cute, as always.

Read this in my pre-teen years, and this definitely helped me turn into a full-blown theatre kid by 13.

So dramatic (pun not intended, but it fits).
They were clever, but they’re also incredibly lucky that the timing worked in their favour. This could have ended in all sorts of disasters.

this was a quick and easy read....

Mary-Kate and Ashley are at a private school. they just found out that the boys school is going to be putting on a play with them. now all the girls want to try out.

Ashley needs to get the lead role because her boyfriend is the lead for the male role and their was a kissing scene. the only problem is Ashley cannot sing. the play is bye bye birdie, so their is lots of singing. She decided to do the next best thing. she wanted to be one of the fan girls.

Mary-Kate loves to sing and act. She was very good at it. She didn't want the lead because she believed she wasn't "Kim" in real life so she wanted to be the next leading role. Well, she ended up getting Ashley's role and creating an enemy. Valerie is the most popular girl in school and she was even on t.v. she wanted that role and was now the understudy

Mary-Kate will find herself dodging pranks so she would lose her role, and also finding a way to no kiss her sister's boyfriend. everything was going great until Mary-Kate got a plan that might end up ruining it all!

Mary-Kate and ashley want to audition for a schOol Play called ByeBye Birdie. Mary-Kate gets the role as Kim who is the lead. Ashleys crush, Ross, is playing the lead role of the man, Conrad. Ashley gets no part in the play but gets a part in costume making so she can keep an eye on her sister because in the last scene Mary-Kate and Ross kiss! When it's time for the end scene Mary-Kate and ashley switch places so Ashley can kiss the boy of her dreams. But when it's time for Mary-Kate to sing Valerie( the girl who wanted the lead role) locks Mary-Kate in the dressing room so she can go out and sing instea of Mary-Kate. She finally gives in and let's mary-Kate sing and the whole play goes well.

I liked it because of how Mary-Kate and solved their problem. Mary-Kate had to kiss a guy named Ross. Mary-Kate didn't want to kiss Ross. So they got Ashley to kiss Ross because Ashley like Ross. Ross found out when the play was over.

I did not like it. The story is boring and there was no action.

I was a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and was on an endeavour to collect all their movies and books.

Two of a Kind was a cute little series that offered interesting storylines.
