This Room is Mine

This Room is Mine: A Story About Sharing
by Betty Ren Wright, originally published in 1966.

Summary
Chris and Mary are twins who have to share a room. The girls get angry with each other and decide to divide the room off evenly by measuring it with a jump rope.

Chris claims half the bedroom as her own private property, but realizes it is the half without a door -- she will have to stay there forever unless she can find a graceful way out of her predicament.
