Switched

When Olivia Abbot moves she finds a twin she never knew about, Ivy. The two of them are like chalk and cheese and as they get to know each other they discover just how different they are.

It's readable but not really memorable and I'm not rushing out to get the next in the series.

I acquired this from a library book sale and intended to read it, even though it's way below my age level, and then donate it with other YA and children's books to the local library section where I live. Reading it now and trying to clear it off the shelf, I was surprised to find I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Written for a middle school age, it's cute, quirky, and has an interesting plot-line and characterization for that age group.

When Olivia moves to a small town, she discovers a long lost twin sister who ends up being part of the "goth" crowd. Into cheerleading and sunshine herself, the two start exchanging roles and tricking different crowds in order to get revenge, dates, and just see how far they can carry the roles. show more The twists were simple but charming, the writing style well done, and thankfully for the age group the writer avoids any melodrama. There are humorous changes with common slang to mean the opposite, a somewhat endearing bonding of sisters, and a lighthearted ending. show less

YA series of two teenagers who meet in school then realize they are sisters. I enjoyed this story. I liked how they were opposites and needed to help each other with these differences. I liked the setting of high school and how the girls have very distinct personalities and attractions to and from others. It was fun to read as they get in and out of situations. I look forward to reading the rest of the series

My Sister The Vampire written by Sienna Mercer is a captivating book if you really enjoy reading about vampires or if you don’t. My Sister The Vampire (switched) is the first book out of four of the serious. The book, Switched, is about a girl named Olivia who moves to another school called Franklin Grove. One day Olivia accidently bumps into her long lost twin sister, Ivy. Olivia and Ivy become best friends at first but after a while they realize they look the exact same. Having a twin sister made everything so much easier because Ivy had a chance to go out with boy of her dreams but also had to attend a meeting. Olivia would dress up as Ivy and go to the meeting so Ivy could go on the date with the boy of her dreams. After getting show more to know each other, Olivia discovered the truth about her long lost twin sister Ivy being a vampire. The style of the writing is easy to understand and it flows well which makes it easy to read. My Sister The Vampire has a lot of different settings throughout the book although it can be confusing because it could be Olivia’s turn at telling the story and then it jumps to Ivy’s and she is set in a total different setting. I enjoyed Switched a lot that I am reading the second one of the serious called Fangtastic and I can’t wait to finish this one so I can read the third book. Although the book is about vampires it isn’t scary. I recommend it children and teenagers. show less

The email I sent to Harper Collins: I picked up this book and read it all in one sitting. I thought it was really cute and very sweet and an altogether fun read. I love reading YA books like Georgia Nicholson, and vampires are very "in" right now so this book was a great combination. I will definitely recommend it to customers.

My sister the vampire is about this girl named Olivia, and she moves and goes to a new school. Then Olivia runs into Ivy. Ivy is a goth and a iwerd girl that Olivia thought was not going to be her friend. After they were parerned up together, they soon find out they have the sme neckles they both say is the only thing they have from the parent before the vaished. Then they relized under the black and pink makeup they were wearing they were identical twins. They were so surprised and were ready to take on anything. Then they disited they were going to switch and be the other twin. They started to do this thing everyday and soon they were mixed up. A afternoon when the girls were hanging out Olivia found out something very wierd. Ivy is a show more vampire, and so were all her friend. Now Olivia felt very uncomfortible with switching and hanging out with vampire. Olivia relized that vampires were people to and that was what her sister was, and she learnd to except her and her friends. I liked this book because of the surprizes it throws in. Also the detale was great, I felt very into it. I just think it should have a little more of Ivys point of view. This book sucked (sucked mean good in this book)
