They have a house with a big garden, a dog named Bella and a hamster named Tikky. John and Emma are both eleven, while Jane and Michael are eight. They are two sets of identical twins, and sometimes they like to pretend to be the other twin, confusing their friends and relatives. Only their mother is able to recognize them anytime and anywhere. The children have very different hobbies. John likes science and he wants to become an astronomer, Emma likes to write stories, Jane plays a piano and dreams of becoming a famous musician, and Michael likes animals and wants to become a veterinarian. Their mother is a hardworking woman who raises four children all by herself, but her niece Tessa, who lives nearby, helps her out as a sitter.
