The Magic Half by Annie Barrows, Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2008

Tags: twins, time travel, sisters and brothers
Students will probably relate to the constant bickering and pestering carried on in this family. It's easy to see why Molly wants a twin of her own. This is an interesting adventure in time travel, but also shows the courage and persistence of the main character. Good for grades 4-6. Strong girl character. Some historical elements.
