Meredith and Mallory Brynn are identical twins – born on different days. Meredith was born at 11:59 P.M. on December 31st and Mallory was born at 12:01 A.M. on January 1st of the next year. Merry and Mally share many of the things that other twins do like a special language, sympathy pains, and telepathy. No matter how much they share with each other and how identical they look, they do have differences. Merry is the head cheerleader and Miss Popularity whereas Mally is all business. She is a jock and prefers to spend time alone.
The Brynn twins are known and loved all throughout town but even more so after a New Year’s Eve disaster. While babysitting their little brother and cousins, a mysterious fire breaks out that nearly takes the twins’ lives. The physical devastation is nothing compared to the emotional damage they endure. Merry and Mally notice they don’t dream the same dreams after the fire and begin seeing visions. Mally sees things that are going to happen and Merry sees what has already happened.
The girls begin to get disturbing visions of a long time family friend which end up putting them in an extremely dangerous situation. They must rely on their special ”gifts” to survive.
THE MIDNIGHT TWINS is a fascinating novel. The first two chapters were hard to get into because of the detailed explanation of the twins and their “gifts” but once you get to the night of the fire, the story really takes the reader on an emotional ride.

[...] The Midnight Twins by Jacquelyn Mitchard was a pretty good book I suppose. It was kind of confusing because they kept talking about new people, without really introducing them. I would recommend this book though to someone who’s trying to find a good book to read. It was interesting_Sara H. [...]
