WE love the Brightstor­m series of books by Vashti Hardy because we are boy/ girl twins and the main characters, Arthur and Maudie, are too.

Just like us, they understand what the other is thinking and feeling without even asking.

We first met Vashti Hardy when she came to our school for an author visit in 2019. It was great to hear about where she gets her ideas, including survival tips from Bear Grylls! Her stories are such exciting adventures.

We were thrilled when Vashti dedicated the second book, Darkwhispe­rs, to us and called us “real-world Brightstor­m twinnies”. Now we’re so excited to read the third book, Firesong, but are a bit sad that the adventures have come to an end so soon. We wish the Brightstor­m twins could go on forever.
