Read in the early to mid 1990s, from point of view of the girl. Brother's vengeful spirit lingers causing trouble, there's a prophecy that lead to the twin swap situation. Girl struggles internally, thinking she's really the boy that everyone sees her as. There's a magical woman who lives in the woods and helps her?

This makes me think of The Bone Doll's Twin by Lyn Flewelling, where Tobin grows up as a boy, to keep her from being murdered. Her twin brother dies at birth, but has taken one breath, which allows his spirit to manifest.

Well I read it when I was in elementary school, but I think it would resonate with teens more.
