About:

'The Parent Trap' by Erich Kastner is a classic children's novel that tells the story of two identical twin girls, Luise Palfy and Lottie Körner, who discover their true relationship at a German girls' summer camp after being separated when their parents divorced. The book follows the twins as they switch places to reunite with their respective parents, leading to heartwarming and adventurous moments. The writing style of the book is described as lovely and sweet, making it an engaging read for children and adults alike.

Despite some criticisms of the translation into English, the book is commended for its timeless storytelling and the way it captures the essence of childhood innocence and sibling bonds.

Louise and Lottie decide to discover the secret behind their similarity: when the holiday is over, Louise returns to Munich as Lottie, and Lottie to Vienna as Louise...
