Seeing Double: Copy, Paste, Chaos

by C.L. Cossette

Twelve-year-old twins Kaia and Karter Merrick are used to finishing each other’s sentences—but when they find an old leather journal in their grandmother’s attic, they discover a secret that even they couldn’t anything they write in the journal… comes true.

At first, it’s fun. Floating lanterns. Magical snacks. Even a goldfish in a top hat. But when the journal starts writing back—twisting their stories and rearranging their memories—the twins realize the magic has a mind of its own.

Then a name appears in the pages. A girl they barely remember. A girl the journal erased.

Her name is Kyla.

Now Kaia and Karter must uncover the truth, rewrite the past, and outsmart a book that wants to decide their ending for them. But some stories don’t like to be changed. And this one?

It’s writing itself.

About the author

C.L. Cossette has been devouring books since she could first hold one, and now she's finally writing the kind she’s always loved—stories that make you cry, kick your feet, squeal with joy, and maybe even blush a little. She’s thrilled to be creating stories that speak to the heart and linger in the soul. She lives with her husband and their very good boy, Bo, who insists on being involved in the writing process. When she’s not typing furiously or swooning over fictional men, she’s probably daydreaming about her next plot twist.
