Books with title The Trouble with Twins

Have you ever had a truly horrible day? Of course, you have! We all have them. When Josh has his own bad day, he can't take it anymore. All of his discomfort builds up inside of him and leads to an explosion of emotion. Luckily, daddy is there to explain what is happening to him. Josh learns all about tantrums: what they are, why they happen, how to divert them, and where to go when they are imminent. It's a good thing that Josh learned all about tantrums because mommy has just come home -- and she had a truly horrible day, too. This book, written by a teacher and parent of two boys, includes comprehension and follow up questions on the last page. Through multiple readings of this book and answering the questions with a caring adult, children will learn to recognize when a tantrum is coming and how to diffuse their emotions. Repeated and consistent readings should lead to shorter, less frequent tantrums as children become more aware of their tantrum triggers.

Witches and warlocks hide their true identities from the rest of the human population, while three teens with demon heritage living with human families, become unlikely companions in a race against time to deal with a demon threat to humankind in their own quirky way. Alana Fainot, a witch and half Kubiteron demon, witnesses a Matusa murder his summoner, and she knows he’ll target her next. Raised by her mother, she has no idea who her demon father is. But when she’s pulled to a demon portal, she meets Hunter Ross, half Matusa, half human, who returns demons to their world, but who’s been poisoned by a Matusa and is more dead than alive. His human mother gave him up for adoption, and he doesn’t know who either of his birth parents are. His friend Jared Kensington, full blooded Elantus demon, less powerful than the Kubiteron, is a whiz at electronics and helps Hunter track demons in the city, but was abandoned by his parents on Earth world for reasons unknown. He’s determined to find help to save Hunter. Alana knows aiding any Matusa is a mistake, but when she learns Hunter is half human, she makes a deal—he protects her against the Matusa who will come for her, and she helps find his dad in the demon world to save Hunter’s life. Often at odds, the three teens work together to stop the plans of a group of Matusa to take over the human race before it’s too late.
