Reader’s Review
A cute, if cliche, story about twin brothers who accidentally meet for the first time and decide to trade places in order to meet their missing parent. Muslim kids will enjoy the Islamic references to salah, the masjid, and halal food.

The twins regularly hang out in a friends’ circle that includes girls. Their cousin Zoya is part of the band.
