Dangerous Neighbours by Beth Kephart
Published: August 24th 2010 (Egmont USA)
Could any two sisters be more tightly bound together than the twins, Katherine and Anna? Yet love and fate intervene to tear them apart. Katherine's guilt and sense of betrayal leaves her longing for death, until a surprise encounter and another near catastrophe rescue her from a tragic end. Set against the magical kaleidoscope of the Philadelphia Centennial fair of 1876, National Book Award nominee Beth Kephart's book conjures the sweep and scope of a moment in history in which the glowing future of a nation is on display to the disillusioned gaze of a girl who has determined that she no longer has a future. The tale is a pulse by pulse portrait of a young heroine's crisis of faith and salvation in the face of unbearable loss.
Summary from Goodreads
I love historical fiction so this is a sure add to my wishlist. I've also heard very good things about Beth's previous novels but have failed to read them yet. Love the sound of this one!

Nice choice! I'm not familiar with this author at all, but that sounds like a great read. I like to cover, too!
This sounds interesting. Great pick, but the cover is creeping me out a little!
