Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
And Then There Were Two
Jennifer Cole · 1988
63/100
👎 Skip It
A clean, emotionally grounded story about sisters growing closer when college pulls their older sibling away — the kind of quiet slice-of-life YA that 1980s series fiction did well. Fine for its target age group, but it is a mid-series entry with no lasting critical footprint, so casual readers should start the Sisters series from the beginning instead.
