Louise hates her sister. Everyone is dazzled by her lovely, talented, and delicate twin, while the dark, brooding Louise--who prefers rough outdoor work--struggles with her feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. Louise comes to accept her feelings when she is finally appreciated for herself, rather than compared to her sister. Winner of the 1981 Newbery Medal.

I read this when I was a kid and too young to really get it. Rediscovered it through its essay in Shelf Discovery, and reread it in a day.Do they even write books like this anymore? Books that describe so achingly what it is to come of age, to love and hate and rage against the world. It reminded me...
Remember this book being quite profound when I read it at the age of 7. Not mention my last name was Jacobs and I thought it was a sign. Also, just the quote from the Bible: "Jacob Have I loved, Esau Have I Hated" (or something to that affect).Having a younger sister who I felt was the Jacob and I t...
Caroline is beautiful, musically gifted, and good; she is the shining star of a small town on the water. The story is told by her twin sister Louise, who is almost sick with jealousy and longing. Louise is not a flawless person, but I loved her just the same: her work-roughened hands, her terrible...
I haven't read this book since high school, so I have no idea whether it would still stand the test of time. I know that from the time I got until the time I outgrew it, I read it every single year. It was one of the few books with a central female character that I could id with. It is particular...
