Melody Murray's Books

Decidedly odd story of a young man who may be inhabited by his "concentric twin" or may be mentally ill. Konigsburg is an excellent writer who manages to present the viewpoint of Ben (within whom George lives) in a normal fashion. Ben's always had George, and that's just the way it is. The exploration of Ben's psyche and the story arc are done very well. It's the kind of book that pops into your head weeks and years later. The moral quandaries were painted with a pretty broad brush, though, and the wicked stepmother could be straight out of the Brothers Grimm.
