Books like Two Much Alike by Bernice Thurman Hunter
It's 1953: television is the newest thing, girls wear dresses to play outside -- and Carrie and Connie Taylor are almost twelve years old. Living in Detroit, Michigan, 'the twins' are so identical they fool people by switching clothes or classes in school. They even have their own private language! But after their Canadian cousin says that twins have no identity, Carrie decides to 'individuate.' She tries to look and act different from Connie, and Connie is miserable -- if she is not Carrie's twin, who is she? Told in a fresh, lively voice, this story of a pre-teen finding out who she is has great appeal, especially to readers who wonder about the mysterious lives of identical twins.

Booky didn't know much about the reasons for the Great Depression. All she knew was that she was hungry all the time, that her parents fought constantly, that the bailiff would soon return to evict her family from their home. Worst of all, she knew that Christmas would be a time of empty stockings instead of presents under the tree, a time of mashed potatoes and turnips instead of turkey and dreassing. But Booky's spunky nature refused to be crushed, even by the Great Depression.
